Make Models was commissioned to create a marketing model spanning six buildings for Dasco’s Waterloo development in Sydney. At a striking 5m x 5m, this model commanded attention as the display suite’s central showpiece, capturing the breadth and scale of the project in one immersive view.

A full landscaped courtyard anchored the design, showcasing the potential communal spaces and highlighting the project’s vision of connected living. Interactive lighting illuminated key architectural features across the six buildings designed by Bates Smart, Richard and Spense, and MHND Union drawing immediate focus from anyone stepping into the suite. Complex brick textures were meticulously laser-etched into each façade and landscape, bringing depth and authenticity to the model’s architectural language. The result was an impactful statement piece: an expansive model that elegantly unified lighting, landscaping, and detailed craftsmanship, transporting visitors into the heart of the development before construction even began.
