Architecture is easier to believe in when people can see it clearly.
At Studio inHaus, that has been our focus since 2007. As a boutique architectural visualization studio based in Chicago, we help translate design intent into visual experiences that support approvals, marketing, investor communication, and pre-leasing. Over the years, we have completed 500+ projects for 100+ clients by staying focused on one thing: creating imagery that feels believable, strategic, and aligned with the goals behind the project.
Why “boutique” still matters
There is no shortage of firms that can produce images. What matters is whether those images actually help move a project forward.
We built Studio inHaus to stay intentionally lean. That means every engagement gets senior-level attention from concept through delivery, with a process shaped around close collaboration, clear communication, and structured deliverables. We are not trying to be the biggest visualization studio in the market. We are built to be a trusted creative partner for clients who care about quality, responsiveness, and consistency.
That model matters when timelines tighten, project teams expand, and visuals need to do more than look impressive. They need to explain, persuade, and support decision-making.
Founder-led and creatively grounded
Studio inHaus is led by co-founders Thomas Livings and Laarni Livings. Tom leads creative vision and client relationships, bringing an architecture-informed perspective to how spaces are seen, understood, and experienced. Laarni leads business operations, overseeing finance, HR, and strategic growth while bringing deep marketing design experience to the studio’s process and presentation standards.
That combination shapes the way we work. We understand design. We understand presentation. And we understand that clients need both.
Who we work with
Our work is built for decision-makers across real estate development, architecture, interior design, hospitality, urban planning, and experiential design. We collaborate with teams that need visuals for different reasons at different stages, from early design communication to polished marketing launch assets.
Our portfolio reflects that range. The overview deck highlights work connected to Fairmont Hotel, St. Regis Macau, Kohler Spa, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal, The Venetian Las Vegas, Coral Sands Harbour Island, and Evermore Resort Orlando. The common thread is not a single building type. It is a consistent standard of visual storytelling.
Built for long-term partnerships
Some studios focus on one-off production. We value lasting relationships.
According to our overview deck, 85% of our clients are repeat clients, with an average relationship length of 4.5 years. That kind of continuity creates better work. We learn how teams think. We understand what matters to their brand. We build efficiency over time without losing precision.
Clients have described our work as photoreal, collaborative, and dependable, especially when quality and turnaround both matter.
Let’s build what’s next
Whether your project is entering entitlement, moving through design development, preparing for an investor raise, or launching pre-leasing efforts, the right visualization can help create clarity and momentum.
That is what we do at Studio inHaus.
We create architectural visualization that is design-aware, marketing-ready, and built to support the real goals behind the project.
