Case Study: The Urban Oasis

Oliver and the team were able to interpret our brief and drawings, bringing a comprehensive CGI render to life. This image was critical to our project. Communications and organisational professionalism were excellent. So would certainly work with Monolith again!

Farm Urban and LettUs Grow, a truly inspiring client combination, is driven by their mission to find healthier and more sustainable solutions to our broken food system. Their early days were dedicated to developing and installing small-scale urban farming systems throughout the city, leveraging these systems as a means to engage communities and empower individuals to grow fresh, nutritious food locally. Their commitment to fostering a sense of community and transforming urban spaces into thriving hubs of sustainable food production is truly commendable.

The initial image produced at the early stage helped the clients secure confidence in the project during the initial fundraising round.

One of the remarkable projects we had the privilege of collaborating on with Farm Urban and Let Us Grow was the creation of "Urban Oasis," an innovative vertical farm and green utopia situated atop a car park. This visionary space incorporated various elements such as Vertical Farming containers, public allotments, bee habitats, an experience center, a restaurant, community art studios, and public BBQ spaces. To secure funding for this ambitious project, Farm Urban utilized the animation we produced, effectively showcasing the transformative potential of "Urban Oasis." Investors were captivated by the immersive visualization, aligning with Farm Urban's mission and recognizing the project's significant impact on the local community and environment.

Throughout the collaboration, our team worked closely with Farm Urban and Let Us Grow , leveraging our real-time rendering capabilities to efficiently achieve their goals and desired angles for the final animation. This advanced rendering technology allowed for seamless collaboration, enabling us to prioritize the essential elements that accurately portrayed the client’s vision. By streamlining the process, we achieved fast and efficient turnaround times while maintaining the high level of quality expected for a project of this size and complexity. The synergy between our team and Let Us Grow and Farm Urban resulted in a visually captivating animation that effectively conveyed the sustainable and community-centred ethos of "Urban Oasis," leaving a lasting impression on stakeholders and furthering Farm Urban's mission to revolutionize our food system.
