A private client was looking for a bespoke center piece to have in their living room that enhanced their love of skiing and understanding of the terrain. Vail Mountain is a dense tapestry of ski runs and back bowls, so it was clear that the map needed to have three dimensionality. The family wanted to gather around this at the end of a ski day, so we had the opportunity to play with size and scale.
The master planning of this resort ski area has transformed, and the 3D architectural model has been modified in phases to match these updates.
James Madison University approached LGM to develop a historically accurate representation of the famous Montpelier James Madison Estate. This model was meant to replicate the historic preservation and restoration processes that the main home and outlying buildings had been going through. Details like shingle, brick, and cladding were to be represented at scale.
MIG COM needed to explore the Lone Tree Redevelopment plan beyond their initial 2D renderings. Due to the expansive area of interest, they decided to create a unique representation of the RidgeGate Community by introducing a study model into their work flow. The model needed to communicate the planned development district, and clearly show the relationship between commercial buildings and topography.
The Academy came to LGM seeking a model to help future residents envision what the new 16 acre community would be like upon completion. The model needed to visualize historic elements, surrounding residential context, and new construction on the property.
