Architectural Models


The demands of planning applications and competition entry are very familiar to us at Inver Models - tight timescales and emerging designs offer us challenges we are happy to address. Fully aware that your investment is often speculative, we can advise on the most cost effective way of representing a development, from budget block-massing studies to fully detailed and illuminated models.

	Finwell street London is the location for this commercial development modelled in maple wood and Perspex. Internal lighting gives a sense of space and vibrancy whilst the carefully selected timber veneers convey quality and attention to detail. Scale 1:200.
	This competition submission for a new school in Yorkshire lends itself well to the monochrome style of modelmaking. Underfloor lighting in each of the hollow pavilions spills out onto the walkways and covered public areas. 1:300 scale
	Another view of the Yorkshire school model. White models enable us to work within tight timescales particularly where drawings are fluid. 1:300 scale.
	A fully detailed school model produced against the clock for a competition submission. We accommodated many of the design refinements from our Edinburgh client right up until the completion date. 1:200 scale.
	Michael Hopkins Architects commissioned this timber and Perspex model of Manchester Athenaeum and Art Gallery. The steamed beech veneer contrasts well with the transparency and clean lines of the new Hopkins development.
	This monochrome architectural model of the Sheriff’s Court, Glasgow, shows off its classical design to dramatic effect. The real surprise comes however when the model is split at three different levels to reveal Parr Partnership’s dynamic use of internal space. 1:150 scale.
	Leith docks, Edinburgh are the location for this fully detailed architectural model. The bold colours and forms of the commercial development are set off by the adjacent reflective water surface.
	New NHS medical facilities in Inverness modelled in steamed beech. Feature panels on the building are picked out in vibrant colours and the central core is illuminated from within. Polished metal vehicles contrast with the fine texture of the timber.
	This Wren designed church is in fact an off-site building for a much larger model. It demonstrates the form and detail evident with an all-white model.
	A monochrome architectural model of Dundee city centre. Simple block buildings permit a short completion time and help to focus attention on the more detailed site building.
	A combined commercial /residential development on the Isle of Bute is the subject of this public presentation model. Whilst the proposed work is detailed and in soft colours, the surrounding off-site buildings are simplified and greyed-out.
