Trey Tyler

Owner/3D Artist

A formally trained architect that graduated from North Carolina State University (Bachelor of Architecture) in 1996, Trey Tyler has more than 25 years of experience in design and visualization. A self-taught 3D Artist, Trey founded RenderSphere in 2011 to bring clients a level of insight and expertise into the 3D visualization process that goes beyond what a typical ArchViz firm usually provides. Trey’s practical, experienced-based understanding of the design process results in a collaborative approach that ensures design intent is illustrated with accuracy and premier quality. This team mentality allows project stakeholders to give feedback throughout the visualization process which promotes the joint development of all final rendering products. Trey truly understands his clients need to receive the highest degree of control, value, and quality on each project. Channeling his long-time passion for modern design, Trey has served for more than 6 years as a Board Member for Modern Richmond , a local non-profit that seeks to promote, educate, and celebrate Modernism in Richmond and beyond and he is currently the Chair of the organization. Through Modern Richmond, Trey helps identify exceptional modern buildings for monthly tours and was one of three Modern Richmond Book Committee Members that led the development of the first Modern Richmond Book released in April of 2019. The book celebrates 10 years of tours (100 buildings total) and highlights 50 of those 100 projects. Not only was Trey a instrumental in the creation and development of the book as a whole, but he also designed a house that is featured in the Book: The Peters Ramsey House (3008 Grayland Ave.). It was this all new construction modern house project that led to the creation of Trey’s Design Consulting Business: DesignSphere in 2018. Trey is also a professional photographer who was honored to have had 25 of his photographs included in the Modern Richmond Book. Like all the photographers selected for the Modern Richmond Book, Trey donated his photographs to Modern Richmond in order help reduce expenses and make the publishing of the book possible on a modest budget. Finally, he is one of a handful of authors that contributed essays for the book. Trey’s essay discusses “Modern Details” and draws upon several of the highlighted projects to illustrate how thoughtful and inspired details can help reinforce the modern concepts of the project as a whole.
