3D Walkthroughs
Experience the Design Before It’s Built
Why Walkthroughs Are Valuable
Static images show a single view. A walkthrough allows you to understand the space as a whole.
You can:
Evaluate layout and circulation
Review sight lines and spatial flow
Confirm proportions and ceiling heights
Study natural and artificial lighting
Make material decisions with context
This level of clarity supports better decisions before permits are finalized and construction begins.
Who This Is For
3D walkthroughs are valuable for:
Homeowners planning a custom build or renovation
Builders reviewing spatial coordination
Designers presenting projects to clients
Developers communicating project intent
They serve as a clear communication tool for everyone involved.
Delivered Virtually
Walkthroughs are accessible online, allowing you to explore the space remotely and revisit it as the design develops.
Real Estate Style Panorama Walkthroughs
Immersive, fully rendered panoramic environments built from detailed 3D models.
Viewers can navigate the space and evaluate scale, materials, and layout in context.
Ideal for pre-construction review, client presentations, and property marketing.
Background in Virtual Environments
I was one of the first designers working with real-time virtual spaces in the professional design community.
When interest in the metaverse was just beginning, I was the first and only interior designer actively working in that space. I taught monthly courses for fellow designers on how to use virtual environments, and my work earned an industry award for a concept showhouse.
Following that recognition, I was commissioned to create the first and only virtual showhouse of its kind, blending design, lighting, and real-time exploration within a fully modeled environment. The project demonstrated how immersive digital spaces can expand the way designers and brands present their work.
While the terminology has evolved, the foundation of that work continues to inform my process today: accurate spatial modeling strengthens understanding, supports better decisions, and improves communication across the project team.

Dallas Market Center Metaverse Trendhouse — a virtual showhouse developed to explore how design and products can be experienced in a digital environment.
The Metaverse World below was designed and built by Annilee Waterman. It’s hosted on the Spatial.io platform.
