Nine luxury barn-style homes in the Surrey Hills - Full marketing package, delivered in two weeks.

The Barns at Great Hookley Farm is an exclusive collection of nine barn-inspired homes on the edge of Elstead, in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Style Front Developments came to us needing the full off-plan launch package - exterior CGIs, interior CGIs and a printed brochure - on a two-week deadline. This is how it went.

The brief.

Style Front Developments had planning permission for nine bespoke barn-style homes across Great Hookley Farm - a rural site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of Elstead in the Surrey Hills. Each home was already designed, right down to the standing-seam metal roofs, dark-stained timber cladding and the reclaimed brick and stone plinth details.

What the client didn’t have was any of the imagery needed to actually sell them. With a launch date already committed and agents ready to begin off-plan marketing, they needed a full CGI package delivered in a fortnight - exterior hero shots for the brochure and website, interior lifestyle sets showing how the finished homes would feel, and the finished brochure itself, print-ready for the sales suite.

The site’s AONB context meant every image had to feel genuinely rural - native planting, mature trees, English wildflowers around the plot edges. Any hint of a generic show-home aesthetic would undermine the whole proposition.

What we were asked to produce
  • Six exterior CGIs - hero shots for each of the barn typologies, plus a full scheme aerial
  • Three interior CGIs - living/kitchen, principal bedroom, principal bathroom
  • A print-ready sales brochure using the imagery, floorplans and specification content
  • All assets in web-optimised and print-resolution formats

The process - two weeks, start to finish.

A fortnight to deliver a full launch package doesn’t leave room for guessing. We asked the client’s architect for the full drawing set, the material spec, and one Saturday-morning site walk-through with Giovanni on the phone. Modelling started the same afternoon.

Days one to four went into the master 3D scene - every plot, the landscape, the topography, the neighbouring hedgerows and the site’s hero mature oak. Day five we sent chalk-white clay models of every view for approval. Days six to nine were materials and lighting - the dark timber, the recycled brick, the standing-seam roof. Days ten to twelve went into the final renders and the aerial. Days thirteen and fourteen: brochure layout, print sign-off, delivery.
