We model all our projects in 3d which means that not only can we provide beautiful 2d plans and 3d photo realistic imagery of your property but we can also offer an immersive virtual reality experience at our offices. You can pop the googles on an jump into our VR vault and experience firsthand what your property will be like without even putting a spade in the ground. Our approach ensures we fully explore the possibilities of your design but also omit costly risks during construction by helping you minimise changes which is one of the biggest factors in over budget construction projects for property developments.

Heritage
We are working closely with the district council’s historic and conservation team on the renovations to this grade II* listed Manor house, built late C15, probably by the Ingoldsthorpe family.
Heritage
The Old Rectory is a grade II listed property located in the village of Freckenham. The property dates back to the 16th century but was extended and altered considerably in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
The biggest issue with 2d plans and 3d images is that our clients struggle to understand the designs concept and when you are paying thousands of pounds on a building project this is not good enough. We use virtual reality as part of the design process to show you options and allow you to walk around the proposals as if you would in real life. You get a sense of how the completed building will feel and the sense of space.
Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects specialising in the sensitive transformation of agricultural heritage, a barn conversion architect is essential for repurposing historic rural structures into high-performance modern dwellings. Navigating the complexities of Class Q permitted development rights and Listed Building Consent, we balance the preservation of original timber frames and stone masonry with the requirements of 21st-century living. A leading English barn architect understands how to integrate large-scale glazing and vaulted ceilings while maintaining the character of the local landscape, ensuring every project complies with stringent NPPF rural planning policies. By focusing on sympathetic restoration, structural reinforcement, and the integration of discreet renewable energy systems, a specialist architect ensures your barn conversion is not only a stunning architectural statement but a sustainable, energy-efficient home that respects its agricultural roots.
