Have you ever wanted to walk through your future home before the first brick was laid? Today, this is possible thanks to digital twins and virtual reality. These technologies are changing the design process itself: design becomes interactive, precise, and fully personalized. Antonovych Design is already implementing them in premium segment projects, opening new horizons for clients.
Digital Twins and VR: What They Really Are
A digital twin is a virtual copy of your interior or a specific object that behaves just like the real world. In design, this means you can change furniture arrangements, check lighting, and test materials without making changes in reality.VR interior is a full-fledged virtual space where you can “immerse yourself” with a virtual reality headset. You literally walk through your future home: you feel the scale, textures, and light.
Why This Changes Design
1. Design and Visualization
Previously, a designer presented space through drawings and renders. Now, clients see the result immediately.Facts:• Studies show that using digital twins reduces the likelihood of errors in furniture arrangement by 30%.• In the premium segment, VR accelerates project approval by up to 40%, saving time for clients and designers.• VR models allow creating dozens of interior options in a matter of minutes – this is especially important when working with brands where every detail matters, such as Minotti or B&B Italia.At Antonovych Design, designers analyze how space is perceived through the client’s eyes: from the width of passages to the “psychological effect” of light on walls.
2. Lighting and Atmosphere Assessment
With a digital twin, it’s easy to check how light plays in a room at different times of the day. The client sees where shadow creates coziness and where light is too harsh.Examples and facts:• Using VR for light modeling achieves 87% accuracy compared to real-world settings (arxiv.org).• In Antonovych Design projects, such as apartments in Astana Tower, light modeling allowed selecting ideal spot lights, minimizing glare and creating a soft atmosphere.• Professional visualization prevents errors in lamp and shade selection, saving up to 15% of the lighting budget.
3. Personalization and Training
VR not only demonstrates the interior but also helps the client make decisions. They can “try on” Poliform or B&B Italia furniture, experiment with different material combinations, and assess ergonomics.Facts:• VR projects increase client satisfaction by 35%, as all details can be checked in advance.• Platforms with digital twins allow modeling material behavior: for example, how light reflects off lacquered wood or textiles.• Antonovych Design also uses VR for contractor training: employees see the exact furniture arrangement and layout, which reduces errors on the construction site.
Benefits of Technologies for Business and Design
Time and cost savings – errors are identified at the virtual stage, before construction begins.Accuracy and transparency – the client clearly sees what they will get, eliminating misunderstandings.Flexibility and creativity – dozens of layout and finish options can be tested in minutes.Increased client engagement – VR turns project approval into an interactive experience.
Antonovych Design and the Digital Future of Interiors
VR and AR for Visualization
Antonovych Design uses VR and AR so that clients can “walk through” their apartment even before construction. This helps not only choose furniture and materials but also check ergonomics, light, and atmosphere.
Smart Materials and Biophilic Design
The company implements smart and eco-friendly materials: recycled wood, cork, bamboo. In combination with VR, one can immediately assess how the texture of wood or the greenery of plants affects the room’s atmosphere. Biophilic elements reduce stress and create a sense of coziness and comfort.Digital twins and VR interiors transform design into a precise, interactive, and personalized process. Now, clients see the interior before a single wall is built, errors are eliminated, and the atmosphere is fully assessed. Antonovych Design is already using these technologies in premium projects, showing how the future of interiors is accessible today.
