- Watch a beautifully animated tour of the Hillside Sample Project, a virtual recreation of Moshe Safdie’s original vision for Montreal’s Habitat 67, created with Unreal Engine 5 and RealityCapture.
By diving into one of the most important buildings of the 60s, Neoscape helps viewers explore some of the key architectural principles that make Hillside so compelling, from Safdie’s use of prefabrication to modular design. It also demonstrates how the design changes in relation to different weather, seasonal, and time-of-day shifts, reminding viewers how much of an impact an environment plays on a building/structure.

About Habitat 67:
Habitat 67 is a model community and housing complex in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, designed by Israeli-Canadian architect, Moshe Safdie. It is one of the most recognizable projects in modular urbanization and construction, partially because its vision for affordable future living was considered very ahead of its time. It is still a key landmark in Canadian architecture and is well-known throughout North America.
Habitat 67 was originally conceived as Safdie’s master's thesis at the School of Architecture at McGill University and then built as a pavilion for Expo 67, a World's Fair, which was held from April to October 1967.
As one of the major symbols of Expo 67, Habitat 67 gained worldwide acclaim as a "fantastic experiment" and "architectural wonder" and was seen by millions of visitors (over 50 million attended the exhibit).
Habitat 67 was designed to integrate the benefits of suburban homes-namely gardens, fresh air, privacy, and multi-level environments-with the access, community, density, and economics of a modern urban apartment building. It illustrated a new potential for urban living at a time when many households were leaving the city and sprawling, low-density development was on the rise.
Sadly, scope and funding never aligned, making the realization of the full project vision an unfinished dream. The existing structure was originally meant to only be the first phase of a much larger complex, but the total estimated cost of $42 million prevented that possibility. Instead of a community of 1,200 families rising 30 stories, the Habitat 67 that stands today was scaled back to 158 residences and less than half of the original height.
However, thanks to Unreal Engine, Safdie’s original vision can be explored in all its (virtual) glory, providing the next generation of architects, engineers, and urban planners an interactive reference point for creating a better tomorrow.

I just saw The B1M's video on this project and now this. The timing couldn't be more perfect.
I actually saw the prototype in Montreal at Expo ‘67 (I was 16 at the time) and was very impressed. To me, it seemed to be a perfect combination of elegance, luxury and privacy - or at least a very good illusion of such to my teenage self. It very much seemed to be the wave of the future, neatly solving most of the problems (IMHO) of suburban living which were just beginning to be apparent at the time.
I hated ‘commuting’ to my job downtown (10 miles - LOL) and hated mowing our large lawn even more. And even in the much smaller prototype, the common areas were very nice and quite parklike. And I seem to recall that that you could expand the units by simply adding additional modules to accommodate a growing family. Which seemed to be far more clever than constantly buying a larger house.
dam u are a real OG fella in here ! respects to the ones before us
Thank you for your comments. I was younger. Expo was fantastic, it showed what we have and what we could do. It inspired me to think about us and the future, and to plan for the future. These day it is the corupt official in the government, in the world and their often high tech, big business oligarch friends that cripple society and our dreams. The mismangement of COVID and useless wars that do so much damages.
Breathtaking.
Heartbreaking.
We are all to often shown how much better life could be by visionaries and technology but all that we recieve in reality are remakes of remakes and maintainance of the status quo by those who would stand to loose control if the populace were fit, well, educated and enlightened.
I visited Montreal six years ago for a themed vacation around the Expo 67 50th anniversary. I got to go on a tour of Habitat 67 and it was amazing.
I am from Montreal and seeing this is very cool!!! Habitat 67 still exists and people actually live in it today.
It’s completely fabulous. It would look even better with more green roofs & high park/green areas, but over all it is breathtaking and I hope these buildings come to life in many many places.
Wow, this is incredible. The lighting and cinematography is just breathtaking.
It's good that Safdie makes a comeback after 50 years seeing his vision fully developed. It's a glimpse of hope for all other architects who wants to illustrate their work in Unreal engine 5.2. Brutalism must continue in our modern times. It suits our atmosphere. The style is timeless and eloquent without being flamboyant and excessively geometric.
I'm glad this architect found his tribute and a team of 3D modelers for his vision. Kudos to all of them who participated making the vision in its entirety. Many other projects should follow this trend including the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and many others that deserves a full 3D curation. People should be aware of these projects, so the young generation of architects.
@chinkexterminator6571 The temptation of using a meme was inevitable but Kummer is a mathematician who worked on surfaces. Classical trolling was expected. Disrespect is the norm of the day. I'm used to that.
This is what it feels like for a dream to come true. Absolutely Beautiful
Incredible effort and work put into this, congratulations to the team!
I love this! Please do the whole Expo 67!
It should be built for real, it looks amazing! Such a big structure yet so light and nimble. Very different place to live in a city and I think people would love, I would!
People who like construction techniques would be happier than a kid in a candy store there, one could wander around for days and be amazed.
Brilliant .... Absolutely Marvellous !!!!
I hope one day in my life I would also be able to make such stunning cinematics 🥺🥺
If you take a class or learn about how cameras work in unreal engine you can easily. The content of what you are recording is the challenging part.
Excellent… Wonderful and exciting use of this technology!
I like the Five Rose flour element. It's the only my mother would cook with. I have a vague recollection of the Habitat since I was there, Expo 67, only once. Though, my brothers and father spent many weekends there. The U.S pavilion is what I remember most with its red telephones.
I absolutely love this work. Well Done. 👏👏👏
Wow, looks incredible.
This project really was ahead of it's time in the 60's and it solves a lot of problems, with cities taking so much space and being divided. A lot is destroyed with large scale cities, a lot of important nature is lost, and while the introduction of cars made it easier to get around through large cities, it causes a lot of pollution just to travel around. Safdie really had a great vision here to put everything together in a livable space, to take less space, to make things easier to get to and more in line with the social nature of people rather than cities built for cars. The ability for everyone to have green terrace is great, too. It allows for good mental health of the tenant to have a green space to relax in, but also greenery can be planted to help sustain a lot of vital wildlife that a lot of people likely don't think about (our pollinators, who by and large help the crops that are produced and are facing danger with expanding cities).
I really hope that this helps to push architects to take the leap into making more "daring" structures like this. It could do a lot.
I had just tried to build this in the sims lol, so to see it was being created is sooooo exciting!
I want an apartment there so bad, it looks amazing!
Great Cinematics! ❤
I'm still trying to comprehend the shape of this complex. From my understanding it seems like bunch of boards resting on each other and apartment units peppered on the outside. It's brilliant to ensure maximum view and sunlight for every unit. But you also got the shaded space underneath that can be used for semi-outdoor place like a shopping complex. Though i'm more partial to traditional brick low-rise buildings, i still very much prefer this than suburban sprawl anytime.
I think this thing was supposed to have a 12,000 FAMILY capacity too. which could mean about double that in people. It would have been an entire town in an of itself, school and everything.
Perfect ! 🤩
this is amazing and beautiful😍😍
Very Cool !
Outstanding 🤍
Simple love it ❤
Stunning 🤩
this is a masterpiece! I found out Through B1M video!!
Thank you for making the project files available to download!
just one thing, which version of unreal engine do I need to run the project? 5 or 5.2??
Thanks!
I wish I could live there 😢❤
Хотелось бы чтоб в жизни всё было так же прекрасно
Nice❤, when is metahuman animator coming out
what u mean
Simcity 6 looks amazing :p
Much Love
I would love to see a few missing details: wayfinding information first of all. Second, how does the elevator system work, what are the hallways like leading to your floating condo? Cars? Where are all the cars parked? When you get groceries does everyone get a wagon to haul them around? Just practical concerns mostly. Say you bought a new tv, what’s it like getting it from your car to its final home?
the building is designed to be mixed use with amenities nearby your home so you don't need a car to live
Love it.... 😄
someone should make an animated film using this project
Wow.
Honestly Better than all the movies marvel released this year
I wanna see this in VR ❤😊
... here you go: czcams.com/video/DClHoueabGs/video.html
is the Unreal project accessed through downloading using the "The Safdie walkthrough" link?
nice
Is it possible to view this model in an Oculus Quest VR headset?
Wow
The saved seed section from the vehices section, specified in the documents, is not included in the project.
es demasiado hermoso.
So to download the Unreal project do I click on "The Safdie walkthrough"? I already have Unreal.
Modern brutalism, i can see it aging gracefully with covered vegetation which gives it a natural ecocentric living environment.
In my view, if the balconies were made into yards, this would almost be ideal for an urban setting.
i cant find an actual download for the project files, just exploring the scene
UE Marketplace file coming Next week. Just cloud and executable for now
Would love to see this done with cross laminated timber instead of concrete
can it be build today?
4:44 i thought facebook was involved, that f...hehe
why there is stuttering frame in video????not smooth camera animation or may be problem with export.😓😓
Nerv vibes
This project (of creating Hillside) is pretty awesome, but it's a shame that there aren't any videos that give a tour of the complex.
Neoscape, if you are listening, you should make a video that shows what a particular inhabitant's life may be like. It should show the type of walk they would need for a typical visit to a grocery store, and it should show what stairs or escalators, etc., that they would use. Even after watching all the videos I can find on Hillside, I still don't understand the basics of how people move from place to place.
Surely inhabitants would need vehicles at times (to visit friends in other cities), so are there vehicle rental facilities included?
What about schools, theaters, museums, etc. If this is truly a multi-use space, why don't we se anything of them in this model?
You can find a halfway decent tour by looking up Kirsten Dirksen "Habitat 67 stacks 354 prefabs that get urban/suburban balance"
i'd love to live there if it was ever built.... probably won't happen in my lifetime tho... sadly
archvis camera pan. It would be better if these arch buildings were being destroyed by a giant robot or army of Chads. Coming soon right?
wow that is really cool, but still would not live there... i like yards. forests, and no neighbors for over a quarter of a mile.
It's a great improvement over previous, but still lacks the fantastic attention to light and shadow that we have seen from Nvidia's RTX demos. 7/10.
show
Awesome! Would prefer a more natural slightly shaky camera movement also, making it less cgi-feel.

Very nice but this is very different from the actual building
юнити, что с лицом...
The aspect ratio is stupid
Hello, how to fix(bake) hair in sequencer + path tracing? Here is the issue - czcams.com/video/pLxOgtV7uOE/video.html
The original Unreal engine looks better.
The music is way too dramatic.
Looks like an abandoned place in the day time
Distopian city 😶
yes, affordable, beautiful and spacious apartments with private terraces is so very "distopian"
I hate brutalism. It's cold, dead and hopeless.
UE always tries so hard to look like a movie - the heavy post-processing / tonemapping routine is tiresome.
Some cool shots and lighting, but the building design is one of the worst I have seen. It will suit a dystopian game, though.
Its fine for as an affordable housing option, where people can move out as soon as they make enough money.
The downside being that these kinds of projects eventually turn into slums without intense police surveillance.
@@rickmorty5215 The downside is that it actually didn't turn out to be affordable
@@hyperlogos
That's a good thing.
People likes that place and they are ready to pay more for prefabricated homes and more such homes can be build. Also if located closer to city centres, public services and shops they helps people to save time and petrol.
It's funny that you say that.
Part of it was built in 1966, and it was (and is) one of the most desirable rentals in Montreal. It's not for everyone, but those who get it, love it. It's great to see it's full potential.

So they want to build that. I wouldn't live there. I hate the city!
Orribile, città dei sogni senza umani e umanità.
