Somerville Community Services is a for-purpose organisation providing supported accommodation for people with disabilities and high support needs.

They currently manage houses in Darwin and Katherine and are in the process of building new houses in Alice Springs.

Rise was engaged to visualise both the constructed houses and future houses to enable clients, carers, support staff, leadership and stakeholders to virtually visit, inspect and manage the houses.

Rise provided a variety of services:

Pre constructed houses

Rise created photo realistic digital twins of the futures houses from the Floor Plans and Finish Schedules (see main picture).

The digital twin provided Somerville with a fully immersible 3D model for staff, clients and stakeholders to virtually walk-through from anywhere in the world.

Constructed houses

Rise undertook LiDAR scans of all the houses to generate high-resolution digital twins, including in-model measurement tools, virtual tours, floor plans and room quantity take offs.

Rise also 3D printed all the houses as a vital engagement and planning tool.
