Studio2a’s journey began in 1999 when Adam Kruvand saw the need for a technology partner for design firms struggling to adapt 3d computer graphics into their workflow.  Thus Studio2a was founded, ushering in a new era of 3d architectural visualization in response to the static and time-consuming watercolor techniques of the previous century. One of the earliest dedicated 3d rendering studios, the firm soon became known for its creativity and digital solutions working beyond the limited technology of the day.  Soon Studio2a would branch out beyond architectural visualization into other client sectors.

Computers quickly took over design-related industries.  Lead by engineers, CAD software quickly spread across the drafting tables of many firms.  Pencils soon gave way to computer monitors and keyboards. Studio2a moved to support these technological disruptions that clients were facing by bridging the gap from CAD to 3d for many smaller firms that didn’t have the resources to do so in-house.

By the mid-2000s the industry had gone digital.  The speed and flexibility of computer graphics and 3d renderings affords a new level of design exploration.  Changing times meant keeping up with changes in technology, almost on a daily basis.  Working for industry leaders such as IDEO, HOK, Studio Gang, Wood & Zapata, and Workshop APD forced Studio2a to push the limits of technology and experiment with new hardware and software.  In the late-2000s, Studio2a led another dramatic shift in the design industry by incorporating BIM models into the 3d rendering pipeline.
