NOVA

Creative Development · 2026

A launch site that lets visitors fly through a new astronomy hall.

NOVA is the new astronomy wing of an independent science museum. The museum wanted a launch site that gave people a feeling of the space before it opened, and that would keep working as a guide after launch.

Challenge

The hall was still under construction, so there were no photographs. The site had to load quickly on school networks and older phones.

Approach

I built a lightweight scroll-driven scene from the architects’ models, with simple shaded volumes instead of heavy textures. Each section becomes a page of visitor information after opening.

Result

The site launched three weeks before the opening and pre-sold all school visits for the first semester. Average load time stayed under two seconds on mobile.
