Cornish architectural design company uses Virtual Reality

Marraum, a top architectural practice in Cornwall, is driving innovation by incorporating virtual reality (VR) into all of its projects.

With VR, clients can explore future homes and developments while making real-time amends and redesigns.

Virtual reality technology started its journey as a tool for entertainment and gaming, but now virtual reality can also help modern architects blur the line between vision and reality to offer clients more insight and collaboration.

Adam Laskey and Daisy Sawle, directors of Marraum, believe the use of VR has enhanced their approach to projects and their ability to interact and collaborate with clients.

Daisy Sawle, Director of Marraum, says: “VR plays a crucial role in our clients' journey, allowing them to immerse themselves in our designs and gain a clear understanding of their investment before moving forward with planning and construction.”

Through VR, clients can experience the exact scale and perspective of their project rendered in a virtual environment, experiencing design possibilities before they happen.

From homes to renovations to large-scale corporate projects, VR technology brings every proposal to life.

Daisy says: "We liken the use of VR during the design phase of a construction project to test-driving a car. Few would commit to such a significant purchase without experiencing it firsthand.

"VR offers a similar "test drive" for your new home, enabling clients to fully immerse themselves in their design and gain a complete understanding of what they are agreeing to.

"It sparks valuable conversations that might otherwise be missed when relying solely on small drawings or sketches.”
