Milk Bar Designers is an architectural programming studio building visualisation pipelines, 3D model systems, automation workflows, and custom plugins for architecture practices.
We translate drawings, references, BIM exports, and spatial briefs into interactive visual systems: model viewers, presentation scenes, configurators, and automated drawing intelligence.

Good automation should preserve the designer's eye. We use code to remove repetitive production work, surface model data clearly, and give architects more time for spatial decisions.
The architect stays in control. The process becomes lighter.
We structure 3D models so drawings, images, data, and web views can be generated from the same reliable source.
Checks, exports, naming, schedules, reports, and variants become tools; design decisions stay with the studio.
A useful plugin lives inside the existing workflow, respects office standards, and reduces friction from the first project.
Interactive images, animated studies, configurators, and web-based 3D scenes built from drawings, models, and reference material.
Repeatable office tasks become reliable workflows: drawing checks, schedules, naming systems, exports, reports, and handover packages.
Bespoke tools for Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, Blender, web viewers, and internal dashboards, written around the way a studio already works.
Clean, structured 3D assets, model pipelines, viewport logic, and presentation-ready geometry for design reviews, competitions, and productized workflows.
We document the drawings, models, exports, naming rules, review loops, and software handoffs that shape the current process.
A focused prototype proves the automation, visualisation, or plugin logic against real project files before the system expands.
The tool is connected to the studio environment: Rhino, Revit, Grasshopper, Blender, web viewers, CMS, or custom project databases.
We tune the interface, outputs, checks, and model assumptions with the architects who use the system every week.
For a mixed-use tower workflow, drawing QA, BIM data extraction, and a browser-based 3D review model were connected into one system. The studio could inspect issues visually, export reports, and keep model logic aligned with the drawing set.
A mixed-use tower workflow combining BIM extraction, drawing QA, and web-based 3D review. The model became a coordinated visual interface for design decisions, issue tracking, and consultant checks.
The best tool is the one architects keep usingbecause it thinks like the studio.
Send a process, model, drawing package, plugin idea, or visualisation brief. We will suggest the smallest useful system to build first.
