Aesthetic & Visual Risk Review

Early-stage identification of visual risk before planning or market exposure.

Outcome: Fewer surprises, earlier corrections, stronger credibility under scrutiny.

02

Verification & Scenario Testing (V‑Score)

Precedent-sensitive analysis and risk‑weighted scenario testing to distinguish confidence from assumption.

Outcome: Better decisions before submission, fewer late-stage redesigns, reduced refusal exposure.

03

Targeted Visual Production

CGI produced only once risk is understood and addressed. Images treated as representations with consequence.

Outcome: Fewer visuals, higher credibility, alignment across planning, sales, and delivery.

About

Advent — the anticipation of a significant event. The coming of something important. The expectation of transformation.

A building is always more than bricks and glass; it is a long-term, significant investment for developers, investors, buyers, and communities. It lasts decades, often generations.

Advent embodies this moment of anticipation before the unbuilt becomes real, ensuring that what is promised in visuals carries confidence, trust, and value before construction begins.

Most visualisations are produced to persuade. Few are designed to withstand scrutiny. We work with developers who understand that visual decisions carry reputational, planning, and financial consequence.

If a visual promise cannot be justified, we will say so. We work with a limited number of projects each year. Selectivity is not exclusivity; it is responsibility.
