Project Detail

A landmark captured in three dimensions.

We were given the tremendous opportunity to create a virtual tour of Grace Cathedral, one of San Francisco's most extraordinary landmarks. As longtime enthusiasts of 3D capture, it was a genuine privilege to document a space of such remarkable scale, beauty, and history.

Perched atop Nob Hill, Grace Cathedral traces its origins to a small chapel founded during the Gold Rush. After its earlier church was destroyed in the earthquake and fire of 1906, construction of the present cathedral began in 1927. Built in four major phases and consecrated in 1964, the French Gothic–inspired structure was ingeniously constructed from reinforced concrete and steel — a response to the seismic realities of San Francisco. Today, it is the nation's third-largest Episcopal cathedral and an enduring symbol of the city's resilience. Grace Cathedral's history and architecture ↗

Soaring vaulted ceilings, more than 7,000 square feet of stained glass, two Chartres-inspired labyrinths, an Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ, and the celebrated Ghiberti Doors — towering bronze replicas of the Gates of Paradise.

The cathedral is also a vibrant center for art, music, social justice, reflection, and community, welcoming people of every background and belief.

Our virtual tour offers visitors a new way to experience this magnificent place: to explore its architecture, discover its details, and appreciate perspectives that might otherwise be missed. Capturing Grace Cathedral was both a technical adventure and a labor of love — an experience we will not soon forget.
