CREDITS

During this internship, I worked on multiple aspects of this project over time. I created spec drawings used for construction, 3D models of equipment placed in the renders, and vinyl graphics applied in the exhibit. The booth concept and direction, renders, photography, fabrication, and install were done by the lovely team at Dimensional Design. Images and work shown with permission.

WHAT THE BOOTH IS

METUS sells equipment that integrates almost invisibly: heat pumps, ERVs, chillers, ducted and ductless indoor units. Rather than a product wall, the exhibit walks visitor through spaces where the equipment would be used in real life.

CREATING INSTRUCTIONS FROM CONCEPTS

Once concepts are approved, technical drawings relay what the renders are saying in terms of fabrication. I created technical drawings for each wall of the exhibit: citing dimensions, materials, and equipment to be placed. It was important to be clear in these drawings to leave as little questions as possible for the construction team to work efficiently.

MODELLING THE EQUIPMENT

Renders of equipment needed to be true-to-size for installation and setup. Using dimensions and images from METUS, I recreated models for several wall-mounted indoor units, E-chillers, and outdoor units.

VINYL GRAPHICS

I created graphics that were applied to various walls of the exhibit. This made the residential spaces feel more complete, and for commercial zones added dimension to what would otherwise be a blank wall. I created a herringbone backsplash for the kitchen, wallpaper for the boutique (not pictured), and a simple background for the commercial stands.

THE OUTCOME

The METUS tradeshow booth at AHR 2026 was a 3,000 sq ft display of Mitsubishi Electric’s residential and commercial equipment being used in context.
