3D renderings for projects in Dubai
In a nutshell
In an off-plan development in Dubai, the image is what the buyer sees of something that does not exist yet. We make exteriors, typical units and common areas from Barcelona, with a 2 or 3 hour time difference. We do not have projects in the Emirates yet; the closest are the developments and hotels you see below.

Why in Dubai the image sells first
What role the image plays when the project is not yet built.
In Dubai a large share of property development is sold off-plan, and investor presentations are made while the project is still on paper. At that moment the image is the product: the buyer decides by looking at the exteriors, a typical unit and the common areas of something that does not yet exist.
According to Gulf News (2024), off-plan project advertisements need a RERA permit and must show the developer, the project and the escrow account. The developer and their advisor handle that, not us. But it explains why the images have to be faithful to the project and why they are commissioned once the drawings are final, before the sales launch.
We have not yet published projects in the UAE. What we do have are developments and hotels with the same kind of imagery, and we show them below as a reference.
How many days a development takes
Schedule for 6 to 8 views and what time it is there when it is 10:00 here.
Dubai (UTC+4, no daylight saving change) is 3 hours ahead of Barcelona in winter and 2 in summer. When it is 10:00 here, it is 13:00 there in winter and 12:00 in summer. This is the indicative schedule of a development of 6 to 8 views, over 10 to 15 business days.

What to consider before the launch
Discretion, delivery and revisions, in four lines.
- Discretion
- If the launch is not yet public, the work does not appear in our portfolio.
- Delivery
- High-resolution JPG and web version, for brochures and for the development's website.
- Revisions
- Two rounds per view, with notes written on the image itself.
- Remote
- The method is described in how we work remotely.
What resembles a launch in Dubai
Five projects with the same kind of image, even if not in the Emirates.
Residential development in Encamp
Encamp, Andorra · Real estate development
The closest thing to an off-plan launch: sixteen views with two blocks, a penthouse and a typical unit, which is what an investor looks at before deciding.
Single-family homes in La Margineda
La Margineda, Andorra · Real estate development
A group of homes seen from outside, from above and from inside, with its show home: the package for a sale of several units. Twelve views.
Homes on La Castellana
Madrid · Real estate development
The typical unit in a large city, focused on what the buyer imagines living in: living room, terrace, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
Ibiza Gran Hotel
Ibiza · Hotel
For the hospitality side of a project: lobby, rooms, bar and spa, and how a hotel looks when it is renovated in phases.
Hotel in Guadalmina
Guadalmina, Marbella · Hotel
A coastal hotel inside and out, with rooms, bathroom, bar and facade: a reference for a leisure project.

Frequently asked questions
Call hours, advertising permissions and format for investors.
When do video calls with Dubai fit?
In the Barcelona morning, which is already midday there. The rest is handled in writing, with the method we describe in international work.
What can I look at if you have no projects in the UAE?
The closest thing to an off-plan launch: the developments in Encamp, La Margineda and La Castellana, and the hotels in Ibiza and Marbella.
What images does an off-plan development launch need?
The standard commission is 6 to 8 views between exteriors and interiors, with staged sales floor plans and the same light across the whole series. For that we ask for drawings, a finishes and furniture schedule, and site images.
Do you handle the details the advertisement must carry?
No. We make the images; the permit, the developer and the escrow account that must appear in the advertisement are confirmed by your advisor, not by the studio.
For investors, are stills, animation or a tour better?
It depends on the presentation. Stills work for brochures and the web; animation gives a 45-second walkthrough with agreed camera shots, and the 360° tour opens from a link. Animation takes 20 to 25 business days.
