Project Overview

Core Build approached us with an ambitious brief: create a complete brand identity and visual system for Mosaic Chicago, an affordable housing initiative spanning 100 potential development sites across the city. We developed the name and logo from the ground up, then produced photorealistic renderings, animations, and immersive VR tours for both single-family and multifamily typologies. Stylized floor plans communicated livability at a glance, while a custom-built interactive location map allowed buyers and investors to explore all 100 sites online. The result was a unified pre-construction marketing ecosystem that transformed a scattered portfolio of empty lots into an investable vision for Chicago’s housing future.

Align

Haven Development had two distinct floor plans, each with its own interior design language.
They provided detailed spec sheets covering everything from staircase styles and flooring materials to lighting fixtures and hardware finishes.
Building custom 3D models for every element across both plans and delivering within a three-week window was the core challenge.
On the brand side, the goal was to develop an identity concept that matched the sophistication of their product without overcomplicating it.


We had a detailed onboarding call with Brittanye and Winston from CoreBuild.
They had a general idea about how the floor plan would be and provided us with a
few floor plans that had potential and resonated with the vision of the project.
Along with that, the client also provided references for materials, furnishings, etc.



Visualization

For the visual assets, we created a full suite of marketing materials designed to make the pre-construction phase feel tangible.
We produced photorealistic static renderings and high-energy animations for both single-family and multi-family unit types.
These visuals were essential for communicating the livability of the spaces at a glance.

To go beyond static images, we developed immersive 360 virtual reality tours for both building typologies.
These VR experiences allow potential buyers and investors to walk through the units before a single brick is laid.
Every piece of media was built to humanize the data and transform a scattered portfolio of lots into a cohesive community vision.


The first step was to create a detailed 3D model from the given floor plan and make custom 3D models for all the furniture, fixtures, etc. that truly reflect the vision and the feeling of the project.





Compose

Alongside the VR work, we developed a conceptual brand identity direction for Haven Development.
This included explorations around logo treatment, color palette, and typography, all designed to reflect the clean, modern,
and intentional design philosophy behind their developments.
The concept was built to give Haven a visual foundation that could carry across marketing materials, signage, and digital presence as they scale.
While this was a conceptual exploration, it gave the team a clear reference point for where their brand could go.




Branded Floor Plans & Location Map

We also created branded floor plans for both layouts, designed to feel consistent with the overall visual language rather
than the typical black-and-white technical drawings buyers are used to seeing.
Each plan was styled to be clean, easy to read, and presentation-ready for both digital and print use.
Alongside the floor plans, we produced a custom location map highlighting the development’s proximity to key landmarks, transit, and amenities.
It was designed to serve as a practical sales tool while staying visually aligned with everything else we delivered.




Project Handoff

From immersive VR tours to brand direction, everything was built to help Haven Development sell with clarity and confidence before
a single wall goes up.
