With concerns about the impending hike in interest rates, marketing collateral for new home developments becomes even more important, especially so for the top end of the market.

So when our clients, Dere Street Homes, began talking about their plans for a small development of just 13 luxury bespoke homes at Hill Top Farm in the middle of Ramside Hall’s new Cathedral Golf Course, we began designing and planning the brochure.

An essential part would be the CGI’s (Computer Generated Images) created by architects Barnett North LLP that would show the homes as they will appear rather than relying on simple floor plans. But, for the CGI’s to really impress, we wanted to set them in the actual landscape of the development.

Enter our good friend Richard and his amazing machine – a state-of-the-art octocopter with a high resolution camera underslung on a stabilising gimbal. The golfers on the surrounding course may have been a bit surprised but the resulting photos were just what we after and will be used to create marketing material for the new development.
