Architectural Replicas: Edmonton International Airport | Office & Control Tower
When precision meets storytelling, architectural replicas and architectural displays become immersive experiences. Therefore, we design each piece to both inform and inspire. For this project, we created a detailed scale model of the Edmonton International Airport control and office tower at 1:40 scale. As a result, the display captured attention and performed strongly in busy conference and trade show settings.
One of the biggest challenges came early in the process. Since no technical drawings or CAD files were available, we relied only on photos. However, this limitation pushed our team to think creatively. By carefully studying each image, we interpreted scale, structure, and material details. Then, we used advanced CNC sculpting to build accurate forms. At the same time, we refined every surface by hand. Because of this approach, the final model achieved both precision and strong visual impact.

Built for Engagement
In addition, we designed the display to encourage interaction. Instead of creating a static piece, we added a functional feature. At the top of the tower, we integrated a discreet business card slot. As a result, the model became part of a contest entry system. Because of this small detail, visitors felt invited to engage. At the same time, the feature helped capture leads and support brand interaction.
Why Architectural Replicas Matter
Architectural displays help bridge the gap between concept and reality. Whether used for marketing, planning, or education, they make ideas easier to understand. In addition, they offer a tactile and visual experience that connects with people on a deeper level.
