Villa Auralis, the open space

OMNI manifesto project

The brief

Villa Auralis is OMNI’s manifesto project. It was born to prove that architecture can be experienced before it is built: every space is designed and activated in real time, with a level of definition that goes beyond representation. Its purpose is simple: interactive navigation for immediate decisions on materials.

What we built

A complete villa to walk through in real time: seven spaces, from the entrance to the dressing room, and a light study that follows the day from morning to night.

Facts

  • Year: 2025 · Duration: 3 months

  • Client: OMNI Manifesto · Sector: Real-time visualisation

  • 7 spaces · 67 views · 3 light studies

  • Real-time demo for Windows, on request

How it is made

  • Rhino 8. Clean files in metric units and logically named layers, so every measure and proportion reaches the engine intact.

  • Unreal Engine 5. Lumen global illumination for cinematic light in real time: the time of day or the atmosphere change instantly. Nanite for highly detailed geometry, from vegetation to furniture, without losing performance. Advanced presets for reflections, exposure and atmosphere.

  • NVIDIA RTX 5090. Real-time ray-traced reflections in 4K Ultra HD.

The result

Villa Auralis is a fully navigable decision space: clients walk through it, change the light and judge materials in place, before anything is built. The real-time demo is available on request.

“Visualisation doesn’t describe: it reveals. Technology becomes invisible, leaving room for light, matter and perception.”

Giuseppe Baldo · Founder, OMNI
