Architectural visualisation
automation workflows,
and custom plugins.
Milk Bar Designers is an architectural programming studio building architectural visualisation systems, 3D model workflows, studio automation, and custom Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, and web plugins for architecture practices.
Every drawing can become a system.
We translate drawings, references, BIM exports, and spatial briefs into architectural visualisation systems: interactive 3D model viewers, presentation scenes, configurators, and automated drawing intelligence.

Built around
architectural judgement.
Good automation should preserve the designer's eye. We use code to remove repetitive production work, surface model data clearly, and give architects more time for spatial decisions.
The architect stays in control. The process becomes lighter.
We structure 3D models so drawings, images, data, and web views can be generated from the same reliable source.
Checks, exports, naming, schedules, reports, and variants become tools; design decisions stay with the studio.
A useful plugin lives inside the existing workflow, respects office standards, and reduces friction from the first project.
Architectural visualisation, studio automation, custom plugins, and 3D modelling for architecture practices.
Architectural Visualisation
Interactive images, animated studies, configurators, and web-based 3D scenes built from drawings, models, and reference material.
Studio Process Automation
Repeatable office tasks become reliable workflows: drawing checks, schedules, naming systems, exports, reports, and handover packages.
Custom Programs & Plugins
Bespoke tools for Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, Blender, web viewers, and internal dashboards, written around the way a studio already works.
3D Modelling Systems
Clean, structured 3D assets, model pipelines, viewport logic, and presentation-ready geometry for design reviews, competitions, and productized workflows.
A selection of projects rendered through visualisation and modelling pipelines.
How an architecture workflow becomes custom software.
Map the workflow
We document the drawings, models, exports, naming rules, review loops, and software handoffs that shape the current process.
Prototype the tool
A focused prototype proves the automation, visualisation, or plugin logic against real project files before the system expands.
Integrate in practice
The tool is connected to the studio environment: Rhino, Revit, Grasshopper, Blender, web viewers, CMS, or custom project databases.
Refine with use
We tune the interface, outputs, checks, and model assumptions with the architects who use the system every week.
Model systems at scale.
Six thousand drawingschecked, linked, and visualised.
For a mixed-use tower workflow, drawing QA, BIM data extraction, and a browser-based 3D review model were connected into one system. The studio could inspect issues visually, export reports, and keep model logic aligned with the drawing set.
A mixed-use tower workflow combining BIM extraction, drawing QA, and web-based 3D review. The model became a coordinated visual interface for design decisions, issue tracking, and consultant checks.
The best tool is the one architects keep usingbecause it thinks like the studio.
