OneWorks
A new terminal for Vilnius, the first and last impression of a city
A new terminal for Vilnius, the first and last impression of a city. The full image set for an international design competition.
For OneWorks we produced the full image set for the international architectural design competition for the new Vilnius airport terminal: CGI images, 3D modelling, and aerial photomontages placing the project in its real context. Every frame was built to give the jury an immediate, confident reading of the design.
We put extreme attention into the details, from modelling every custom baggage conveyor to all the signage, down to the architectural details and the glass gaskets. It is exactly these minute details that bring the photorealism we aim for in our images.

01 Approach
Alongside the pure CGI views we produced aerial photomontages, inserting the new terminal into real photography of Vilnius. Matching light, grain, and perspective between model and photo is what lets the jury judge the project as if it were already built.

The exterior frames approach the building at pedestrian level, placing the architecture in direct relationship with the people who will use it every day.

02 Detail
We modelled everything that makes an airport feel real: every custom baggage conveyor, all the signage and wayfinding, the architectural details down to the glass gaskets of the facade. Nothing was pulled from a generic library.

It is precisely this minute layer of detail that produces the photorealism we look for, the difference between an image that illustrates a project and one that convinces you it exists.

03 Light
The lighting was calibrated to Baltic conditions, low and diffuse, resolving into clarity inside the concourse. Within that light we built a storytelling that is never didactic: it is carried by the flows of people and by the small details of their activities.

Travellers, staff, and everyday gestures populate the frames without ever disturbing the strong first reading of the image. The architecture speaks first, the life around it confirms it.
