The firm is one of the few architectural practices that are experimenting with virtual reality.

Practice manager at the Burnley branch, Nixie Edwards, said: “We needed a way to make quick, informed decisions between us, our interior designers, all the way to the staff proposed to work at the building. VR is a great tool for communicating to everybody, whether they understand architectural drawings or not, Build magazine has given us the platform we needed to showcase the new technology available."
