Using a series of CGIs that allow you to go up and down all floor levels to view all apartments, which help buyers understand the position and measurement in relation to the building.
Virtual tours: 360 panos
We included a series of 360 tours in the app which can be access from the amenities page, and also from the main menu.We created bespoke brochure pages which introduce some of the notable areas of the development including shared areas such as the reception, co-working space and dining area.
