Smith by Valli is a limited collection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. Architecturally, the building follows the logic of the street — similar in scale and material register to what surrounds it, without mimicking or competing. Inside, Lisa Buxton's interiors move in a deliberately different direction: people living in a place like Smith Street are already immersed in stimulation, so the apartments needed to offer the opposite, somewhere to arrive and settle.
That tension between the vitality of the street and the quietness within became the organising idea for CUUB Studio's visuals. The focus was on how the spaces are lived in: morning light moving across a bedroom, evening light settling into the living space, a kitchen that feels used, not staged. Timber, stone, and joinery treated with enough specificity to feel real, without being idealised. 

The north-facing aspect became a quiet anchor across renders and animations. The people shown reflect the street itself: creative, independent, part of Collingwood's everyday life.
