Building model: micro focused presentation of building ontology

Building models are the most widely recognized category of building models among the public, commonly known as architectural sand tables or individual models. They take the building itself as the core representation object, focusing on restoring the appearance, structure, and material details of the building.

Core Definition

The building model is mainly expressed as a single or multiple buildings, strictly reproducing the details of the building volume, facade, material, door and window texture, roof structure, etc. in proportion to the design drawings, with appropriate site environment as a backdrop. The core goal is to fully present the design effect and quality of the building itself.

Based on scale, building models can be divided into two categories:

• Single building model: Focusing on a single building with the highest level of precision, commonly used for showcasing solutions of landmark buildings, high-end villas, and cultural venues.

• Group building model: Presenting a combination of multiple buildings, such as building sand tables and commercial complex models, taking into account both architectural details and overall group relationships. This is the most commonly used form for real estate projects.

Key Characteristics

High Precision Restoration of Architectural Details

The facade division, curtain wall structure, door and window lines, and material texture are all accurately replicated in proportion. High-end models can be restored to centimeter-level details. The gloss and texture of different materials such as glass, metal, stone, and paint are differentiated to truly restore the design effect.

Material and Lighting as Core Highlights

Combined with the built-in lighting system, building models can present a day-night scene switching effect. The interior of the building can be equipped with layered lighting and layout lighting, while the exterior can be paired with ambient lighting to create a realistic atmosphere, which is a direct reflection of the project quality.

Clear Classification of Accuracy

From conceptual level block models to high-quality display models, the accuracy gradient is comprehensive, and corresponding levels can be matched according to display needs. High-precision solutions are commonly used for formal display scenarios, while simplified versions can be used during the design and refinement phase.

Combined with Site Models

The vast majority of real estate and commercial projects adopt a combination of building model and site model: the building is finely restored, the site is complemented, and the overall layout and architectural details are taken into account to achieve the best display effect.

Applicable Scenarios

Building models are essential for real estate project sales displays, formal evaluation of architectural schemes, display of landmark building achievements, commercial project investment promotion, and exhibition of museum architecture. LHA Models premium building models are meticulously crafted and hand-polished, with highly restored facade details and material textures that can meet the requirements of various high-end display scenarios.
