01
Architectural visualization studio
A French CGI studio,
working internationally.
Studio Octopus is an architectural visualization and 3D rendering studio based near Paris, France. We work with architects, interior designers, property developers, creative agencies, hospitality groups and retail teams to give unbuilt projects a clear and distinctive visual identity.
Depending on the brief, the commission may combine interior or exterior CGI, architectural film and 360° immersion. Every image begins with the design documents, then develops composition, light, materiality, landscape and human presence under one art direction.
Architectural CGI
with a clear purpose.
Visual production designed to explain, review, present or market an unbuilt project.
Interior & exterior rendering
Architecture, furniture, materials, lighting, landscape and use composed as one coherent image series.
Film & immersive media
Architectural animation, promotional film and 360° tours that reveal the journey and atmosphere of a place.
03
International collaboration
Direct communication,
wherever the project is based.
Our team works remotely with international practices and project teams in English or French. Briefs, source files, reviews and delivery milestones are organised around the project programme, time zones and confidentiality requirements.
The process remains consistent: define the audience and decision to support, approve viewpoints, develop light and materiality, then prepare every rendering for its real use — competition, presentation, campaign, website, screen or print.

Frequently asked
questions.
Essential answers for selecting an architectural rendering studio for an international project.
What does an architectural visualization studio do?
An architectural visualization studio turns plans, sections, models and design intent into clear imagery of an unbuilt place. Studio Octopus combines 3D rendering, CGI art direction, architectural film and immersive experiences when the project requires them.
What is the difference between architectural CGI and 3D rendering?
3D rendering is the technical production of an image from a digital scene. Architectural CGI describes the wider visual process, including composition, light, materiality, landscape, people, post-production and a consistent art direction.
Do you work with international architecture and design teams?
Yes. Studio Octopus works in English and French with international architects, interior designers, developers, hospitality teams, creative agencies and luxury retail brands. Reviews and delivery are organised remotely around the project schedule.
Which source files are required?
Plans, sections, elevations, a 3D model, material, furniture and landscape references help frame the work. We confirm the exact requirements according to the design stage and intended deliverables.
Can you create both interior and exterior architectural rendering?
Yes. One visual direction can connect interior CGI, exterior architectural rendering and related film or 360° experiences.
Which formats can you deliver internationally?
Final CGI can be prepared for competitions, planning, design presentations, investor decks, campaigns, websites, social media, large-format print and digital displays.
