3D Building Model: Rebellion Film Studios, Oxfordshire

At SIAD Studio, we specialise in the capture and creation of highly accurate 3D building models for some of the UK’s most significant large-scale construction projects and cherished heritage sites. Our work is not simply about producing visualisations; it’s about creating a sophisticated digital twin—a millimetre-accurate data set that underpins every stage of a building’s lifecycle, from initial planning to long-term facilities management.

A project that stands as a perfect testament to our capabilities is the creation of the 3D building model for the Rebellion Film Studios campus in Oxfordshire. Rebellion is a cutting-edge facility, a sprawling and complex site that will become a major hub for the British film industry. Such an undertaking requires planning and coordination on a monumental scale, and that is precisely where our expertise becomes invaluable.

The project demanded an unrivalled level of precision. Using a combination of advanced laser scanning and photogrammetry techniques, our skilled team was able to meticulously capture the entire site. We processed millions of data points to generate a detailed model that goes far beyond a simple architectural render. This 3D model provided the Rebellion Film Studios programme with a single, reliable source of truth for their design and construction phases.

For a build of this complexity, our model offers crucial advantages. It assists the design team in visualising inter-dependencies and potential clashes between structural and mechanical elements, ensuring a smoother construction process and preventing costly errors before the first brick is laid. Furthermore, the final model serves as a fundamental tool for facilities management, allowing the studio to organise, maintain, and upgrade the enormous site with absolute certainty regarding its physical reality.

While the film studio project showcases our commitment to modern, large-scale construction, the foundation of our technique—unwavering accuracy—is equally vital in the heritage sector. Across the United Kingdom, we have successfully partnered with owners of historic buildings to create definitive digital records. Whether it’s a detailed record for structural analysis, a baseline for restoration work, or the preparation of accurate drawings for planning applications, our 3D models provide an enduring, reliable record of the nation's past.

The challenge of modelling a stately home or an ancient ruin is in many ways similar to that of a vast modern complex like Rebellion Film Studios: both require a nuanced, detailed, and non-intrusive approach to data capture.

Our work ensures that both the future of UK property development and the preservation of our architectural past are built upon a foundation of incontrovertible digital accuracy.

At SIAD Studio, we are proud to be at the forefront of this digital revolution in the building and conservation environment. Every project we undertake, from film studios to heritage sites, is an opportunity to deliver a powerful, accurate, and transformative digital asset for our clients.
