In the tranquil and picturesque setting of Mottram Saint Andrew, a Cheshire village known for its serene beauty, a unique project came to life. Tasked with a challenging yet inspiring brief, Oakfield set out to create a suite of high-end CGI images. These visuals were not just to support a planning application; they were to tell the story of an architectural vision coming to fruition in harmony with its environment.
The project’s centrepiece was a contemporary, highly stylised home that exemplified modern architectural prowess. Our objective was to showcase this home in a way that highlighted its ground-breaking design and environmental considerations while ensuring it seamlessly blended into its landscape.
A key concern was the home’s visibility from the village entrance and the adjacent quiet road. Our CGI imagery had to address this by illustrating that the new structure would maintain the quaint village’s visual integrity. We employed sophisticated visualisation techniques to accurately depict the home’s positioning and scale, demonstrating its unobtrusive presence in the landscape.
Beyond just addressing visibility concerns, our visuals aimed to capture the essence of the home’s architectural brilliance. The CGIs showcased the clean lines, innovative use of materials, and the overall aesthetic that set this home apart. Part of this narrative was its green credentials – the imagery highlighted features like sustainable materials, energy-efficient designs, and integration with natural elements, all pivotal to the home’s identity.
Perhaps most crucially, our visuals depicted how the landscaping was an integral part of the home’s design ethos. The landscaping was not just an addition; it was a strategic element that softened the contemporary structure, allowing it to nestle gently into the extensive greenery.
This planning CGI case study for the home in Mottram St Andrew exemplifies how thoughtful, high-quality visualisations can play a crucial role in bringing ambitious architectural projects to life, ensuring they resonate not just with planning committees but also with the communities they are set to become a part of.
