GDI Ainsworth is the cleaning and technical services arm of GDI Integrated Facility Services, one of North America's largest facility services companies. We drew a custom isometric building that shows everything GDI Ainsworth does, then turned it into the interactive services section on the gdi.com homepage.

Every service in one picture

In 2026, its 100th year, GDI was bringing its cleaning and technical services together under one name. The marketing team wanted original art to replace stock photos: one image that showed the whole range of what GDI does and didn't look like anything else in facility services.

Field note

Drawn floor by floor

We sketched each floor in pencil, set the style on one floor, then carried it through the whole building. Eight levels run from the basement to the roof, and every service shows people doing the work in the right gear for the trade.

GDI got light and dark versions and layered files for each floor, ready for the website and the rest of its marketing.

From illustration to homepage

Once the art was done, we showed GDI three ways to put it on the site. They chose an interactive building: pick a level and the floors above lift away while the view zooms in. Each service links to its own page.

We built it as a custom Elementor widget, so GDI's team can edit services, text and links themselves, in English and French. It's now on the gdi.com homepage.

In their words

They didn't simply execute a brief; they asked the right questions, brought great ideas to the table, and worked with us to create something that was both visually impressive and strategically useful.

In closing

Got more services than one page can explain?

We draw and build the pieces that make a long list of services easy to follow.
