After over 20 years in the business, it’s not often that I’m totally taken aback by a project. I was contacted late summer by Rype Office regarding an upcoming office fit out they had coming up in Cardiff.

An interesting technical challenge and a satisfying blend of actual photography and CGI imagery:
