Cameron Bosque Brookes were appointed at the pre-planning stage to develop a scheme for this sustainable, car-free development of 30 luxury apartments in Northeast London.

Heritage
This East London project involved the conversion of a derelict listed mews house into an amazing three-storey property.
The works required construction of a new second floor, new windows and doors, extensive façade works, new chimneys and a full renovation throughout.
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.
