Installations, releases and notes from the studio.

Where the platform goes next, and where it has just been installed.

Studio2019–2026

Seven years on from the first installation

The first CityView system went into a sales centre at Diyar Al Muharraq, presenting an island masterplan of seven artificial islands across twelve square kilometres. Buyers could move from the whole development down to a single plot without leaving the screen or waiting for anything to load. It replaced the physical model that had until then been the only way to show a development at that scale. The system that runs today is a different piece of software, but it does the same job, and it started there.

CityView Desktop delivered at The Palace

A CityView Desktop system was commissioned and handed over for The Palace, running on a large-format touchscreen in the sales centre. The build covers the development in real time, with plot detail and availability reachable in a single session. The client's team presents it themselves — the system is designed to be operated by whoever is standing in front of it, without an operator or a trained technician. Delivery included training and the first year of support.

Edamah's development on CityView Desktop

CityView Desktop was delivered for Edamah, presenting the development to buyers on the sales-centre system with the masterplan, phases and plot information held in one model. A second phase of work followed in 2026, extending what the system covers. Projects of this kind rarely stop at handover — a development changes as it is built, and the system is expected to keep pace with it. That is the difference between a presentation and a working sales tool.

A rail network presented in real time

A government transport project took CityView beyond property. Rather than a masterplan of plots and phases, the model covers stations, alignment and the network around them — built to be explored rather than watched, with the route navigable end to end. Infrastructure of this kind has to be explained to people who will use it as much as sold to people who will buy into it, and the same real-time approach turns out to serve both. Discussions continue on extending the system to further stations.

Durrat Al Bahrain villa interiors

Villa interiors were delivered for Durrat Al Bahrain, letting buyers explore layout, finish and the view from inside the property on the touchscreen rather than through a printed brochure. Interiors are the point at which a buyer stops evaluating a development and starts imagining living in it, which is why they justify the level of detail. The work sits alongside the wider Durrat masterplan on the same system. Buyers move between the two without changing application.

Al Khobar Pier on CityView Desktop

A coastal development on the Arabian Gulf, delivered on CityView Desktop for the sales centre. The masterplan runs from the shoreline through to individual units, with the coastal geometry carrying much of the value — a waterfront project sells on its relationship to the water, and that is difficult to convey on a board or in a brochure. The system holds the whole site as one model, so a conversation can move from the coastline to a single unit without a break.
