The facility is on track to be Passive House Source Zero Energy certified and will use 90% less energy than code-compliant construction.įacility Exterior Rendering with Renderpeople Mother & Child Model Architectural Visualization Workflow The story of the preservation of this fragile ecosystem will be told by the building through the active demonstration of water conservation, energy production, and material resiliency. In addition to supporting educational programs in partnership with local schools and community organizations, the Net-Zero energy building will serve as a trailhead and launching point into “the resource” of the surrounding forest preserve, which includes one of the only remaining quality Flatwoods ecotones in Northern Illinois. Nestled adjacent to the Flatwoods along the Des Plaines River, the Ryerson Woods Education Center will act as a beacon of both ecological education and environmental stewardship for the residents of Lake County and the region at large. The visualization workflow includes the use of Renderpeople’s 3D People to better convey the use and scale of space, as well as properly depict the diversity of people who will benefit from the services offered by the facility.įacility Classroom Interior Visualization Project Highlights – Ryerson Woods Education Center

The team uses various design technologies, from energy and daylight simulation engines to real-time visualization and VR to achieve optimal results and enhance client communications. Enjoy! About Lake|Flato and Creating Enscape VisualizationsĪward-winning architecture firm designs beautiful environmental learning center to meet high-performance Passive House standards.

For that reason, we are very happy to share the following guest post with you. The talented team at Lake|Flato combines these components and brings the environmental aspect and the sustainability of the planned buildings even more into their Enscape renderings. For some projects, fidelity to style and detail is particularly important, while for others, authenticity in harmony with the surrounding environment is key. Every architectural visualization is a challenge in itself.
