Approach
Not just a renderer - a thinking partner for visual communication.
Projects in progress are always messy. They come as drawings, technical documents, photos, site constraints, and ideas that are still changing. I synthesize those inputs into a clear visual direction and flag questions that need the design team’s judgment.
The goal is visual accuracy with purpose: to make design intent, alternatives, and human experience easier to understand - not simply to make a proposal look impressive.
01
Understand
We identify the audience, project stage, and question your visuals need to answer.
02
Synthesize
I organize drawings, references, constraints, and missing information into a coherent brief.
03
Visualize
I create targeted visuals that make the project easier to evaluate and explain.
04
Refine
Consolidated feedback becomes focused changes, with assumptions kept explicit.
When to involve us
Different stages. Different questions. The right visual response.
Development rarely follows a straight line. We support the moments when spatial information needs to become understandable to someone new - from early exploration to communicating the finished experience.
Design & approvals
Before-and-after views, comparative studies, and accurate imagery for project teams and stakeholders.
Financing, leasing & sales
Project, landscape, and amenity renderings that help non-designers understand the proposed experience.
Construction & updates
Updated views and visual explanations when approved designs change or project communication needs evolve.
Visualization complements - not replaces - architectural, engineering, landscape architectural, permitting, or financial professional services.
Services
Visual support, shaped around your project.
Choose the scope that matches your stage. Start with a focused visual study, commission a complete presentation set, or keep an experienced visualization partner involved as the project evolves.
01
Deliver
Project Communication Package
$2,500 – $6,000
7 – 14 days
I synthesize the supplied plans, model, context, and references into an accurate set of visuals tailored to design reviews, stakeholder communication, or marketing. We agree on assumptions and intended audience before modeling begins.
- A defined set of views, selected for your audience
- Existing model upgrade or modeling from plans
- Design review, community explanation, or marketing use
- 1 consolidated revision round
02
Explore
Site & Concept Visual Study
$1,500 – $2,800
4 – 7 days
Use a focused visual study when the team needs to understand site relationships, circulation, landscape character, access, massing context, or a specific design tradeoff. The result is a concise, comparable set of options - not an open-ended design commission.
- One clearly defined project question
- Up to 2 directions to compare
- 1 chosen direction refined
- 1 consolidated revision round
03
Stay
Embedded Visualization Partner
$1,500+ / month
Reserved capacity
I retain project context and support new presentation needs as the development evolves - so your team does not repeatedly rebuild its visual brief or onboard a different renderer.
- Visual studies and option testing
- Updates across agreed project phases
- Priority request queue
- Defined monthly capacity and response times

Every proposal defines the source files, project area, number of views, and revision rounds. One revision round means one consolidated feedback list followed by one revised delivery. New properties, additional views, and later design changes are scoped separately.
What we stand for
Clarity over spectacle.
Good visualization should make a proposal easier to judge - not hide its tradeoffs. We value credible context, thoughtful landscape representation, accessible communication, and honest discussion of what is decided versus still conceptual.
Selected work
The transformation is the work.
Every project starts with an input: a CAD drawing, site plan, construction document, rough model, or collection of references. My contribution is interpreting that information and turning it into a visual the next audience can understand. Selected examples below show the range of that work.

About
Research-minded. Visually precise. Human-led.
I work between technical drawings and human understanding - connecting design intent, site conditions, and the lived experience of a place.
Hi, my name is Adele Isyanamanova. I founded Topotecture with a background in landscape architecture and experience translating plans, construction documents, site information, and incomplete design inputs into clear visual stories. My approach brings research, synthesis, and spatial judgment to visualization, with a particular interest in landscapes and shared outdoor environments. I use AI selectively as a tool, while interpretation and decisions remain human-led.
Connect on LinkedInQuestions & answers
Before we begin.
A few practical details about working together.
Have another question? Get in touch ↗What do you need to get started?
Send the drawings, model, site photos, references, or markups you have, along with the project stage and who will use the visuals. I review the available information, identify gaps, and propose a focused scope.
Can you work with incomplete drawings or an existing model?
Yes. I can work from a combination of plans, models, photographs, and references. We clarify assumptions and missing information before modeling begins, so the visuals stay aligned with your intent.
Can you help explore design options?
Yes. A Site & Concept Visual Study focuses on one clearly defined question, with up to two directions to compare and one chosen direction refined. Larger changes or additional options are scoped separately.
How long does a project take?
Timing depends on the scope, source material, and number of views. A focused Site & Concept Visual Study typically takes 4–7 days. Your proposal confirms the delivery schedule and the feedback needed to keep it moving.
How do revisions work?
Each proposal defines the included revision rounds. One round means one consolidated feedback list followed by one revised delivery. Additional views, new properties, or later design changes are scoped separately.
Can you match a visualization to an existing photograph?
Yes. Photo overlays can show proposed landscape, exterior, and signage changes within the composition of an existing photograph. Share the original photo and the relevant plans or references so I can assess the view.
Do you use AI?
I am continuously researching new AI tools so I can deliver results faster and keep my rates lower. However, I never use AI where accuracy matters - I model buildings and hardscape using accurate dimensions, use appropriate plant species and closely follow the topography.
How are you different from any other renderer?
I have a Masters degree in Landscape Architecture and spent several years collaborating with architects, planners, and developers. I don't just read construction plans - I see a project as a whole, and I can flag issues that another renderer might not see. My goal is not to make a "pretty picture" - it's to get your project moving.

What does your project need people to understand?
Send your plans, references, or project question. Tell me who needs to understand the result—and I’ll propose a focused visual scope.

Got it.
I will read what you sent and reply with either a simple scope or a short note asking for anything I need.
