3D renderings and visualization in Spain
In a nutshell
Architectural visualization for hotels, developments, homes, stores and competitions across Spain, from a Barcelona studio that works on your time. Spain is where we have the most projects, from Ibiza and Marbella to Madrid and Cantabria. The images stick to what the project states, because what is advertised is enforceable.
- Same timeas Barcelona, on the mainland and the Balearic Islands
- 15-20 daysbusiness days for a hotel with a typical guestroom and common areas
- 3 in 5 dayscompetition images, in business days
- 24 hfixed-price proposal, in business hours
Why the image has to match what is advertised
What the housing regulations and public competitions say.
In Spain, the image of an off-plan home is not just atmosphere. Under Real Decreto 515/1989 (RD 515/1989), advertising of homes must match reality and what is advertised is enforceable. Hence the importance of a rendering faithful to the project: that is why, on developments, we ask for the finishes and furniture schedule from the start. What binds you specifically, have your lawyer confirm.
In public competitions, entries are judged without knowing who submitted them: under Ley 9/2017 on Public Sector Contracts, they are anonymous until the jury's ruling. The board is prepared with the brief in hand, with the framing agreed before starting and delivery adjusted to the submission date.
Spain is where we have the most projects: hotels in Ibiza, the Costa Brava, Madrid, Marbella, Cantabria, Cádiz and Fuerteventura; homes in Girona and Madrid; developments; and offices and competitions in Barcelona.

Frequently asked questions
Housing listings, competitions, site visits and phased renovations.
How do I keep the rendering from promising more than what gets built?
By modeling what is in the project: the furniture pieces you have chosen and the materials in your finishes schedule. Under RD 515/1989, what is advertised is enforceable, so the image should not run ahead of the construction.
Can the board of a public competition be signed?
It should not be: under Ley 9/2017 on Public Sector Contracts, entries are anonymous until the jury's ruling. Check in the brief what can be included on the board.
How long does it take to prepare the images for a competition?
The standard commission is three images in five business days, with the framing agreed before starting. If the brief asks for more images or gives less time, we will tell you what fits.
Can you visit the site?
On some projects a visit can be considered; it is not the norm. Most are done from the drawings, model and photographs you send us.
Do you do hotel renovations in phases?
Yes: Ibiza Gran Hotel shows lobby, rooms, bar and spa at several stages of renovation. A complete hotel, with a typical room and common areas, takes 15 to 20 business days.
Do you have projects outside Barcelona?
Yes: Madrid, Ibiza, Marbella, Cantabria, Cádiz, Girona and Fuerteventura. How we work remotely is described in international work.
