We prepare 3D computer renders to explore the massing of a design. We can then present these to you in a meeting where we walk around the entire project in 3D, to make sure you are happy with the interior and exterior spaces.

Brickwork
Small sections of brickwork were built to ensure the quality and detailing were agreed before the main work was undertaken on the house.
Textured brickwork
Alternate courses of brick have been laid at an angle to achieve a subtle stepped profile to the corners of the house at ground floor.
