Planning CGI | Contemporary House, Murrayfield








The project is a contemporary replacement dwelling in Murrayfield, Edinburgh, designed by architects Oberlanders. We produced property CGI to support the planning process, combining the proposed house with drone photography of the existing site. The setting is central to the project: the site sits at the end of a private drive, in a conservation area beside Murrayfield Golf Course, and the images needed to show the house and its surroundings together.
Visualising a Contemporary Home in Murrayfield
This is a bold contemporary house in an established setting, and that contrast is what makes the project interesting to visualise. The design makes use of an elevated position with views across Edinburgh, and includes a roof terrace, an outdoor entertaining and dining area, and formal landscaping to the south-facing garden.
A new house of this character raises an obvious question: how will it sit in its surroundings? Beside a golf course and within a conservation area, that question shaped what the imagery needed to show.
CGI and Drone Photography for Planning
Drone photography of the existing site provided the base, and the proposed house was built into those views, so the proposal is seen against the real landscape rather than a generic backdrop. It also suits the location: the elevated position and the golf course beside it are easier to read from above than from the ground.
That context is what makes planning CGI useful here. Anyone assessing the proposal can see the house in position and judge its impact directly, rather than having to imagine it from plans. The aim throughout was accuracy: the house is shown as Oberlanders designed it, in the setting it would occupy.
The exterior CGIs cover the front of the house, the garden, the roof terrace by day and the house in the evening. Aerial and golf-course views deal with the wider context, showing how the proposal relates to its surroundings.
