Designed by visionary Thomas Juul-Hansen, Sutton Tower is a handsome pillar of limestone holding up a brilliant crown in tribute to the iconic New York skyline, against a backdrop of sweeping panoramas from the East River to the Atlantic Ocean, and beyond. Sutton Place is a landmarked district transformed over the 1920s—and known as “Little London” for its river edge setting, distinguished architecture, and necklace of pocket parks, with the neighborly charm of a small village.
The Recent Spaces team crafted a set of photo-realistic renderings and animations to communicate this unique new addition to the NYC skyline. Every composition and photo backplate was carefully pre-visualised in 3D, coordinated through highly orchestrated drone shoots, and then expertly integrated with the rendered building and interiors. Special, unusual times of day - something our studio is well known for - were selected to help bring out the delicate facade details and help the building and its interiors stand out from the crowd. The team recently toured the completed building and were delighted to see that it felt and looked extremely similar to our renderings.
