Testimonial

“…From the first meeting we had to discuss this opportunity to the delivery of the finished product, working with Artesanos has been a positive experience.
True to your word, you were in constant communication, following up on every item in a very organized and timely fashion. You were extremely professional and cooperative in dealing with all the issues that arose and I appreciated the fact that you were proactive with creating solutions for problems (e.g. residential tower massings), sometimes even before we were aware the problem existed. Even with the difficulty in getting the necessary drawings to you, your team managed to meet the delivery "deadline.
You pushed to get what you needed in order to produce a high quality model for us, and as you observed firsthand at the convention, the model was very well received.”

Challenge

We had to create the AutoCAD plans and elevations of eight of its nine buildings, based on the architect hard sketches.
The architect drawings of the two greatest buildings were received barely two weeks before the deadline. A team of up to 14 people were involved in this model, most of them working for six consecutive weeks, seven days a week, on 14 hours shifts. This was a real marathon. An enormous accomplishment reached thanks to the passion, enthusiasm and work ethic of our team of modelers.

Visibility

The Villages at Gulfstream Park is one of the most exclusive retail centers being built in the USA. This model was created to be the center piece of the largest booth in the 2006 ICSC convention in Las Vegas, with over 40,000 attendees. The owner of the project is ranked by Forbes as the top real estate developer in the country. After the convention at Las Vegas, it will be at the sales center of the project in Florida.
