Collabor8 is delighted to announce the successful completion and delivery of a full suite of marketing imagery and a promotional showreel for a new, exclusive luxury housing development in Auchterarder, Perthshire.

The stunning site, which will feature seven bespoke family homes due for completion in 2026, required an initial package of three house type images and one street view. Our  collaborative process and commitment to quality quickly expanded the project scope, leading to the creation of extensive interior images and a complete showreel.

Our mission was to create spaces that not only showcased quality but told a complete story of luxury and design, providing the developer with essential tools for their sales and marketing efforts.

The completion of this project further establishes Collabor8's expertise in creating high-end architectural visualisations for the luxury residential sector.

We are pleased to showcase a recently completed project in collaboration with a developer, focusing on a series of high-quality images that supported the planning application for a stunning new build home. This project exemplifies the importance of a well considered design and visual storytelling in architectural planning.

We were tasked with producing a comprehensive suite of CG images within an ambitious timescale to support their critical planning application.

A significant component of this project involved extensive post-production.

This meticulous process was essential to refine the imagery, ensuring it accurately showcased the intricate detail and materiality.

ADP Architecture had discussed with planners during the pre-application phase. A key requirement, even for exterior views, was the activation of interior spaces. To achieve this, we meticulously modelled common ground-floor areas and upper-level flats, populating them with figures to enhance the realism and narrative depth of the visuals.

Our familiarity with the area, stemming from previous work on a new private residential development on Beith Street and Glasgow Harbour, proved invaluable, contributing to the efficiency and accuracy of our visualization process.

This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality architectural visualizations under challenging constraints, directly supporting our clients’ planning and communication objectives.

We worked alongside Sheppard Robson on the redevelopment of a 1970s building located within the central conservation area of Glasgow, producing a series of photomontage images to support the planning application.

This project offered a fascinating process: the architect supplied a detailed Revit model, which we used as the foundation to overlay our visual detailing and interior propping elements.

The resulting key photomontage visuals effectively illustrated the design intent—highlighting how the original structure is retained and over-clad with a modern glazed ceramic façade. At the same time, the design carefully preserves the building's existing form and character at street level, ensuring it remains contextually sensitive within its historic surroundings.

We’re excited to share a selection of images from a project complete in 2022.

Our role focused on creating CG visuals for a bespoke new bedroom design, as well as exploring recladding options to modernize part of the building’s exterior.

Collaborating with the talented design team to model custom furniture and refine details that seamlessly complemented the existing spaces was a real pleasure.

This project also coincided with the client’s purchase of a Ferrari 812 Superfast—an extra delight for us as car enthusiasts.

We’re delighted to showcase a series of visuals created for Esson Properties. Located in the heart of Aberdeen’s West End, this stunning city-centre building is set to be refurbished carefully retaining key existing features while introducing refreshed finishes and modern facilities.

Working closely with the visionary team at Esson, our brief was to produce four striking visuals that capture the character of the building’s key spaces. Each image was designed to convey a sense of elegance and unmistakable luxury within a refined architectural setting.

From accurately modelling the existing staircase and ornate cornices, to designing bespoke tea-prep furniture and selecting a harmonious colour palette, every detail was thoughtfully considered. One of the most rewarding challenges was distilling the essence of each space into a single, impactful viewpoint—ensuring every image tells a complete and compelling story of design, craftsmanship, and luxury.

Some images from some sports facilities from a few sites in the UK for the amazingly talented team at ADP architects in Edinburgh and the team in Oxford.

Our Vision: The images speak for themselves. They showcase projects that stand as proof that functionality doesn't mean sacrificing beauty. Our core belief is in the power of detail, the quality of natural light, and the texture of materials to create an environment that truly respects and enhances its setting.

Working with the team at ADP Architecture in Edinburgh I completed a project to visualise the planned Liff Care Home development in Dundee. The project included 5 images initially and, subsequently, a few vignettes to showcase the material of the building.

The images were finalised three times and, each time, the level of detail and articulation in the courtyard changed, enhancing the quality of the final imagery.

Key to the final production of these images was the detailed architecture from ADP and the final images presenting a calm and tranquil setting, limiting the number of people and focusing on the surroundings.

It was great to see these some of these images appear in a Scottish Construction Now article about the project and I was delighted with the following feedback from Stephen at ADP Architecture:

"Passed the final drafts past the client last night. They were delighted. So please progress to final renders for all images. Really appreciate the additional time and effort to help us get this over the line."

Iain Guthrie from Guthrie Aerial Photography also captured some brilliant aerial shots to support the project - fortunately he got the weather for it!

We are thrilled to unveil the planning image for the new Ciceley Commercial facility at Eurocentral.

This project sets a new benchmark for efficiency, thanks to an exceptional collaborative approach with Cooper Cromar Architects. Their comprehensive design package ensured the entire process was seamless, requiring only minor tweaks or refinement.

We leveraged our proximity to Eurocentral for proactivity by taking our won backplate photography, capturing the perfect backplate and maximising the selection offering to the team.

This is a testament to the power of great teamwork and precise planning, delivering excellence with visualization!

Covering many locations throughout the UK, We are delighted to share some images from another Unite Students‍ projects we completed in collaboration with the amazingly talented Lisa Green.

These visuals were developed directly from 2D drawings, it was a pleasure bringing the thoughtful, beautifully detailed designs by Lisa Green to life. Our refined workflow enabled seamless collaboration with the Unite team, ensuring each image communicated the design intent clearly and effectively.

Lisa’s detailed specifications, furniture schedules, and artwork selections ensured every space was both accurate and visually compelling. From the rich tonal warmth and subtle fluted-glass detailing to the balanced mix of spotlights, track lighting, and carefully selected pendants - every element was crafted to read exactly as it would in real life.

A huge thank-you to everyone involved. Each project in this series have a similar design language but whats different is how the natural light impacts each site. It was a fantastic project, and the team’s focus on storytelling and design precision made all the difference
