Our Story

Born from Preservation, Built for the Future

In 2021, Through the Flower (Judy Chicago's nonprofit) initiated a project in Belen, New Mexico, to reimagine the 1972 Womanhouse, a landmark feminist art installation. With original Womanhouse artist Nancy Youdelman facilitating and Judy Chicago advising, 19 New Mexico artists transformed a mid-century home into immersive explorations of domesticity and lived experience. The result was Wo/Manhouse 2022.

Today, Lumerse Studio builds and captures 3D environments for architecture, real estate, cultural preservation, and film and TV. Build creates visualizations from plans and models; Capture records existing spaces and prepares locations and sets for remote scouting, pre-visualization, and production. Both carry forward the attention to space and detail that began with Wo/Manhouse.

Our people

Meet the founders.

Logan Skye, MPH, CCRP

Co-founder, Lumerse Studio

Logan served as coordinator and performer on the Wo/Manhouse 2022 project, where he led research and archival efforts for the installation. His work capturing the project in 360° VR, later presented to original Womanhouse artist Nancy Youdelman, revealed a gap between traditional documentation and the immersive reality of architectural space. That gap became the foundation for Lumerse Studio.

His background in clinical research, managing device validation trials at TriCore Reference Laboratories, informs the careful, systematic approach he brings to documenting each space.

Francis Parker Stein, MS, BA

Co-founder, Lumerse Studio

Parker brings experience as an actor and entrepreneur, with work across international film and commercial productions. Previously based in Paris, he moved to New Mexico to continue his work in the film industry.

At Lumerse, he focuses on spatial capture and virtual reality for film, real estate, and cultural spaces.

He holds an M.S. in International Business from Montpellier Business School and a B.A. in Communication from the University of Louisville.

Lumerse Studio is based in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, serving clients across New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and West Texas.

Studio internship · Albuquerque

Learning through the work.

The internship program connects classroom learning with hands-on visualization and spatial capture, carrying forward the studio’s care for the experience of a place.

Our Albuquerque studio is close to the University of New Mexico (UNM) and Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), alongside a community of students working across architecture, design, film, and digital media.

From the classroom to the studio.

Learning

Learn the process.

Explore how a space is observed, recorded, and prepared as a digital experience.

Creative practice

Connect ideas and making.

Bring creative questions into the studio and explore where 3D work can serve design, film, and cultural preservation.
