Runway Installation + Set Design
Project Overview
A runway installation for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Sri Lanka Design Festival.
The project moved from CAD planning through photoreal 3D rendering to final built installation, so the client could approve the atmosphere before fabrication committed.
Phase 01
CAD Planning
Brief
Draw the runway footprint, seating banks, and showroom anchor in AutoCAD — checking sightlines, model walkways, and back-of-house circulation before any visual work began.
Floor Plan
Deck Plan
Phase 02
Photoreal 3D Render
Brief
Built the volume in 3ds Max + Rhino with full lighting and material studies — so the client could approve the atmosphere before fabrication committed.
Runway Render
Showroom Render
Phase 03
Built Installation
Translated the approved render into a built set on-site — runway, seating, showroom inlay, and signage delivered for the live show.
On-Site, Day of Show
Process
CAD Planning → Photoreal 3D Render → Client Approval → Fabrication → Built Installation
From Drawing Board to Live Runway
A staged design process — plan, render, build — that let the team resolve sightlines, lighting, and material choices in CAD and 3D before anything was fabricated. The result: a runway environment that carried Mercedes-Benz's prestige while staying grounded in the Sri Lankan context.
