What INEASTUDIO does

INEASTUDIO is a French creative studio specializing in 3D architectural visualization, based in Cailloux-sur-Fontaines near Lyon. Founded and led by Guillaume Casefont, a DPLG-certified architect with more than 15 years of practice, the firm serves architects, urban planners, real estate developers, and public-sector clients across France and internationally, including engagements in China, Sweden, and the United States. Its core offerings comprise 3D still images, animation films, and virtual tours that communicate architectural and urban planning intent, with a recognized specialization in heritage and restoration projects such as the Palais des Festivals de Cannes and Hôpital de la Croix-Rousse.

The studio's production stack centers on 3D modeling, rendering, and animation, augmented by an internal R&D department exploring artificial intelligence as an ideation and productivity layer. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with each engagement scoped individually rather than sold under standardized tiers. The firm is privately held, bootstrapped, and operates with a small team (1–10 employees), generating revenue through project fees from a diversified mix of private architectural practices, institutional clients, and local government entities.

Broad incumbents

• Lumion: Lumion is a widely-used 3D rendering software for architects, enabling in-house visualization workflows. Relevant as both a complementary tool and a competitive threat that lets AEC firms produce their own renders, eroding the boutique studio model.
• Enscape: Enscape is a real-time rendering and virtual reality plugin integrated into architectural CAD/BIM tools. Comparable as both an enabling technology for arch-viz workflows and a substitute for outsourced visualization services.

Emerging players

• Archilogic: Archilogic is a Zurich-based 3D/VR platform for real estate visualization, offering virtual tours and 3D models for property marketing. Overlaps with INEASTUDIO's virtual tour and maquette orbitale offerings but as a software/platform rather than a custom render studio.
