Do we do pools? Sure we do pools!

Looking to add a pool to your house? Maybe you're working on a resort or even a public recreation area. Nothing is as dramatic in selling your concept as a photoreal rendering. Water is dynamic. You can't communicate the full experience of a pool without physically accurate reflections and refraction. Give us a call so we can help show your pool design in its best light!

New pool for Tamarack Lodge

We have been helping Tamarack Lodge to visualize their Northern Michigan resort since early 2005 when it was just a dream.


With the first building now complete and operating since 2006, we were again called upon to create a rendering of the indoor pool planned for building #2.

If you haven't been there, Tamarack Lodge is well worth the visit. A very classy place!

Home Improvement Options

To our regular customers, it's obvious what we can do for a project. However when people we know ask us what we do for a living, it can sometimes be difficult to explain. Once people actually see examples of what we've done for others, they usually can see the implications immediately. And whenever we run into someone who has recently completed a project, they know all too well the time and money spent that could have been avoided just by seeing it ahead of time. Hopefully this slideshow will give you some ideas of ways we can help you.

LEED certified building in Birmingham

JSSVD created several renderings for a proposed building in Birmingham, MI to help them evaluate colors and materials. Their website for 735 Forest is now live.

More info excerpted from Metromode:

Birmingham's new Triangle District plan calls for building taller, denser and more mixed-use buildings. The idea is to create a vibrant, urban district that complements its downtown across Woodward.

Meet the first development to fit all three criteria: 735 Forest.

The 35,000 square foot mixed-use structure is best broken down by floor. The first is set aside for the Forest Avenue Bistro, a 65-seat restaurant. The second story is dedicated as office space for the Birmingham-based developer and tenants who are currently negotiating their leases. The third floor will become 11 rental lofts, averaging 1,100 square feet each.

The cherry on top is that the building is going for LEED certification.

The building replaces three old single-family homes that had been converted to businesses. The developer razed them to make room for the project. The streets surrounding the new building will also be redeveloped in a downtown style that emphasizes walkability and openness.

735 Forest Avenue is one block east of Woodward Avenue, next to the new AAA building, in the middle of the city's Triangle District.

Interactive Product Renderings

Sometimes it's nice to let your customers experience your products from their own home. Until the holodeck is released to the public, this is the closest you can come. These are relatively quick and simple to create, whether for existing products or for things you are still dreaming up! I have posted two we have created as samples. Give me a call so we can put your products online, in 3D!

Big Changes at South Church

Last week I was contacted by South Church of Lansing. They are expanding their services and need additional space, so the decision had been made to convert the gymnasium into a temporary worship facility. This necessitated a remodel that was almost entirely mobile. They had a church meeting scheduled for yesterday evening to present the plans to the membership and vote on the budget increase to cover the equipment. JSSVD was called upon to create visualizations to assist in this presentation.
