In Ronse, Belgium, BOKX Vastgoed is developing 220 dwellings, ranging from appartments to villas surrounding a beautiful landscape park of 18,5 acres. The plan, designed by urban planner Paul Robbrecht and a collaboration between the renowned Flemish architectural offices Crepain Binst and De Architecten NV of Stijn Peeters, is a modern design of high quality.

Already in the development phase, BOKX Vastgoed has decided to use the Virtual Scale Model for internal communication and testing of the plan. "The Virtual Scale Model has provided new insight to us, the architects, the municipality and urban designer", says Edward van Dongen, Project Developer at BOKX Vastgoed. "Especially the height differences in the plan area became comprehensible after working with the Virtual Scale Model. Because of the easy study of relationships between buildings, the surroundings and the park, we were able to eventually reach a good final design."

Based on the Virtual Scale Model, also an animation movie and a series of artist's impressions have been created in a short time frame for print, web and the facade of a huge belvedere on location. "Because you can freely navigate around the Virtual Scale Model it is easy to choose the best positions for artist's impressions and camerapaths for an animation movie."

Cinema

The Virtual Scale Model was used to inform the public about the plan during an information event. During that day, hundreds of visitors have admired the Virtual Scale Model of the plan in stereoscopic 3D in a specially crafted cinema on location. "The audience was very enthusiastic about the 3D presentation. Next to that a large belvedere was opened with a perfect view over the project area. The side of the tower has been covered by a 6 by 10 meter impression from the 3D model. In short, a great succes!"
