From Switzerland to Shenzhen: Building a Philosophy of Excellence

The story of Lan begins in Europe, where its founders, inspired by their education at ETH Zurich, cultivated a deep respect for precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. Returning to China, they brought with them a philosophy rooted in creating spaces that blend energy, emotion, and connection.

Their ethos is simple yet profound:

• Energized Designs: Spaces that breathe life, fostering interaction and harmony.
• Subtle Grandeur: Focusing on intricate details that leave a lasting impression.

This philosophy sets the foundation for every project, enabling Lan to transform environments and exceed expectations.

Seamlessly Integrated Workflows: The Role of D5 Render

“Rendering tools today do more than generate images and videos. They configure materials, landscape elements, lighting, and even handle post-processing. These functions make rendering software an essential part of the design process.”

Lan Architecture Design Studio has seamlessly integrated D5 Render into their workflow, Archicad, achieving a harmonious balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. These tools enable:

• Streamlined Collaboration: Real-time rendering facilitates quick revisions and enhances client communication.
• Creative Flexibility: Architects can test multiple ideas and refine designs within hours rather than days.
• Impeccable Visuals: Photorealistic textures and lighting ensure every design resonates with clients and stakeholders.

With D5 Render complementing Archicad, Lan achieves:

• Efficient Workflows: D5's integration with Archicad ensures smooth model conversions, minimizing technical adjustments.
• Enhanced Navigation: Archicad's first-person movement and D5's WASD navigation provide an intuitive, immersive design experience.

"A good tool should allow architects to focus on design, not on technical intricacies. Both Archicad's intuitive design flow and D5's natural WASD navigation align beautifully with our creative instincts," Li Bo adds.

Case Study 1: Dapeng Bay Coastal Walkway

The Challenge:

Design a scenic walkway along the coast that harmonizes with nature while withstanding environmental challenges such as typhoons and corrosion.

The Solution:

D5 Render played a pivotal role in visualizing materials and forms that balanced aesthetics with durability.

• Innovative Design: Stainless steel railings combined structural posts and panels into a seamless, floating form.
• Durable Materials: UHPC (Ultra-High-Performance Concrete) was introduced as a resilient alternative, addressing harsh conditions without compromising the design.

‍

“Using D5 Render allowed us to refine both structure and material choices visually, ensuring harmony between form and function,” shares Li Bo.

Case Study 2: Shenzhen Bantian Wanzhi Tiandi Natural Museum

The Challenge:

Create a semi-outdoor museum that combines public, artistic, and commercial elements within a tight timeline.

‍

The Solution:

D5 Render enabled Lan to adapt swiftly, revising their initial concept in record time.

• Rapid Adaptation: Real-time rendering facilitated immediate updates, aligning the design with evolving client needs.
• Compelling Visuals: High-quality images and videos effectively communicated the fusion of art, nature, and commerce, securing the project's approval.

‍

“D5 Render gave us the ability to pivot quickly, ensuring the final design was both functional and visionary,” explains Li Bo.

Revolutionizing Creativity Through Real-Time Rendering

For Lan, D5 Render has become more than a tool—it's an integral part of the design process. By transitioning from static renderings to real-time iterations, Lan has unlocked:

• Dynamic Exploration: Quickly testing and refining concepts to uncover the best solutions.
• Efficient Communication: Delivering visuals that resonate with clients and simplify decision-making.

This capability allows Lan to focus on what matters most: creating meaningful, transformative spaces.
