Bridging the gap between Atmospheric Visualisation and Technical Reality.

We are a specialist design consultancy supporting the world’s leading interior studios. We don't just render; we resolve the architecture behind the image.

In an era of infinite digital generation, the scarce resource is judgement. 3D-LAYER LTD operates at concept stage to ensure that interior architecture is spatially coherent, proportionally sound, and buildable before it reaches technical design or site.

We do not sell imagery. We reduce risk.

What We Do

We focus strictly on the high-value intersection of design intent and visual communication, delivering a defined suite of technical and visual assets to resolve your design narrative.

  • Atmospheric Visualisation: We deliver high-fidelity, photorealistic imagery specifically tailored to secure client sign-off and support competitive bids.

  • Design Development & Prototyping: We utilise 3D modelling as a virtual testing ground to refine proportions and resolve complex junctions before the technical phase begins.

  • Design Intent Documentation: We produce standalone CAD drawing packages (Plans, RCPs, Elevations) that define the aesthetic and spatial intent for the delivery team.

  • Spatial Auditing: We conduct independent reviews of concept schemes to identify clashes, scale issues, and ergonomic conflicts, de-risking the project prior to construction.

  • Bespoke Joinery Resolution: We translate conceptual sketches into fully resolved 3D forms, ensuring material transitions and architectural interfaces are technically viable.

  • Technical Interoperability: We ensure all delivered assets adhere to the client’s CAD standards and file protocols, allowing for frictionless data transfer without requiring on-site supervision.

WHAT WE DO NOT DO

To ensure clarity of scope and distinct liability boundaries, 3D-LAYER LTD explicitly excludes the following from our standard provision of services:

  • Structural Engineering: We do not calculate loads or sign off on structural integrity. All structural elements must be verified by a licensed engineer appointed by the client.

  • Construction Issue (For Construction) Drawings: We provide "Design Intent" information only. We do not produce manufacturing-ready workshop drawings for fabrication without third-party specialist review.

  • Site Management: We operate as an external design consultancy. We do not oversee day-to-day construction activities, manage site contractors, or act as Contract Administrator.

  • Procurement & Purchasing: We specify and visualise FF&E, but we do not handle the commercial purchasing, invoicing, or logistics of furniture and materials.

  • Statutory Compliance Sign-off: While we design with regulations in mind, final sign-off for Building Regulations and statutory compliance remains the responsibility of the Principal Architect or Project Manager.

  • Indefinite Iterations: We work to clear, agreed milestones (e.g., Draft, Review, Final). We do not offer unlimited revisions; any work beyond the agreed scope is subject to a separate fee agreement.

Our value is strictly defined as an upstream design and visualisation partner, distinct from the delivery and construction team.

Our Position

We operate as the critical link between conceptual vision and technical reality. Our work bridges the gap between the initial sketch and the final site package, providing a rigorous spatial audit grounded in over two decades of ultra-prime experience. We go beyond simple representation; we use high-fidelity 3D as a strategic tool to validate design decisions, resolve complex details, and secure client confidence before construction begins.

Our Services

Modern kitchen with gray cabinets, a marble backsplash, and built-in appliances. Glassware and bowls are arranged on open shelves, and a bowl of fruit is on the countertop. A table with white vases and cups is partially visible in the foreground.

  • We produce atmospheric, photorealistic imagery used for design development and client presentations. Our focus is on lighting, materiality, and narrative—helping you sell the vision before a single site instruction is issued.

    • Concept Visualisation

    • Marketing CGI

    • Material Studies

  • We provide the technical backbone to your creative concepts. We translate loose sketches into precise, buildable drawing packages that maintain the integrity of the design intent.

    • General Arrangement Plans

    • RCPs & Elevations

    • Joinery Design Intent

  • We treat the 3D model as a rigorous testing ground for your design. We conduct a proactive spatial audit of your concepts, resolving complex junctions, material transitions, and ergonomic alignments before the technical phase begins. By identifying and resolving constructability issues within the 3D environment, we de-risk the project and ensure the design intent is fully rationalised.

Work With Us

  • "Every detail was thoughtfully executed. We're thrilled with the outcome."

    —Former Customer

  • "Working with Donat felt less like hiring a freelancer and more like having a senior team member on call. The transition from our sketches to his 3D development was seamless, professional, and delivered exactly on schedule."

    —Former Customer

  • "The atmospheric quality of the visuals was exceptional and played a crucial role in securing client sign-off. It’s rare to find a freelancer who understands the nuances of 'super-prime' lighting and materiality so instinctively."

    —Former Customer

  • "3D-LAYER provides a rare combination of creative flair and technical rigour. They didn't just visualise our concept; they resolved the complex joinery details within the 3D model, saving us weeks of coordination time before we even hit the site."
