Models of hospitals are made for fundraising and design review purposes, as well as for obtaining community support and city approval.  It is a long, complex, and challenging process as the developer seeks to satisfy all parties, while taking substantial financial risks.  Imagine being one of the people responsible to design and pay for a hospital that will take many years to build and need to accommodate future technologies.  In order to balance these factors, one has to start on very solid ground.  Scale models provide a tool that communicates intent, from initial volume studies, as this particular model served, to the intricacies of every minute louver and eyebrow.  Subsequently, we were assigned the task of working on a larger scale model of this very same project.  Of course, a model is not a ‘crystal ball’ into the future, but it does bring people together, giving voice to critical points of view, and allowing individuals to focus on real issues and come together, as a team, to make it real.

The designer and developer team on this project wanted to make sure we were sensitive to the artistry of their design and what was required of us to make this a successful model.  With our company’s focus on Model Art™ this project was a perfect match for our talents and skills.  While building the model, we created watercolor techniques to properly ‘age’ the adobe walls, overspray techniques to create a mottled effect on the roof tiles, and painted each individual stone in the pathways and buildings by hand.  All in all, we put thousands of hours into the building of this model.  During construction architects from Hart Howerton were often in our shop, collaborating on the details.  We have worked with them on a number of projects over the years and our input on their presentations is a valued and an important part of the process.  When the model was finished we traveled to Cabo to hand deliver it to the sales team.  The members of this team have extensive experience with high-end sales all over the world and many commented that it was the best model they had ever seen.
