This white building model uses polyvinyl chloride materials for the most part, including the tensional skeleton at the main entrance.

Meanwhile, the white scale people and coconut trees also choose white materials to match the entire model.

The windows are displayed with transparent acrylic panels. However, there are curvilinear elements in the design of the atrium. It is a challenge for white architectural model makers to install those plates on curved surfaces.

• Size: 450mm x 300mm
• Production Time : 12 days

This is a white architectural model of a mall store.

Unlike previous white models, it has a relatively small size and requires more facade detail without showing internal structures.

In the past, this client often commissioned RJ Models to make a large-scale architectural or urban planning model. This time, considering the special design of the mall’s facade, the client commissions RJ to create a white architectural model.

In addition to the wall, the façade is full of rhythmic iron grilles. To avoid monotonously, the designer fine-tuned the position of each bracket, which presents a different horizontal rhythm from the whole.

To accurately present this unique design, the white architectural model makers use the iron wire to restore it. After the weaving of whole structure, they spray it with white material to guarantee the consistency of the architectural model.
