RHP Partnership Case Study

3D Visualisation for RHP Architects and St Barnabas House Hospice

The Client

RHP Architects are a large Brighton architectural firm. They commissioned us to help them support their planning permission application for the proposed St Barnabas House Hospice development.

The Challenge

Makemedia were asked to create a 2-minute animation that would fully realise the architectural plans for the new St Barnabas House Hospice. In addition, because the Hospice were launching a fundraising campaign to fund the proposed development, our animation had potential as a marketing tool as well.

The Solution

Firstly we used the full architectural plans to create an accurate 3D visualisation of how the new hospice would look, down to the specialist oxidised copper they planned to use. We then animated these visuals to create a virtual tour outside of the building and inside through the proposed reception area, cafeteria and bedrooms.

But to help the hospice raise money, we knew we needed to go further. We managed to get hold of Cine Film footage of the original hospice and spliced that together with our animation to illustrate how far the charity had progressed and how much more they would be able to do with new up-to-date facilities.

We deliberately kept costs low as our own charitable contribution to the organisation.

The Results

• RHP Architects were successful in gaining planning permission
• The promotional DVD was a huge success and helped raised a great deal of money towards the building of the new hospice
• Building of the new hospice is now underway
