About Us

Blank Canvas Studios is a leading visualisation and content studio specialising in CGI imagery, animation and virtual reality–based storytelling for the property and design industries.

With teams across Australia and Europe, we bring architecture to life through compelling visual content — helping clients sell the vision before it’s built. Our work spans premium residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments, and is grounded in high standards of design, craft and service.
