Gradel Quadrangles

Architectural photography and aerial drone imagery of Gradel Quadrangles, a student accommodation development delivered for construction firm SRM. Martyn's coverage captures the finished building's form, materials, and setting, alongside aerial and drone imagery and video documenting the project throughout construction.

Martyn visited the site at various stages, from early construction through to completion and handover, giving SRM a complete visual record of the build — from ground-level architectural shots of the finished scheme to aerial footage tracking its progress from above. The aerial work in particular captures the scale and layout of the development in a way ground-level photography alone can't, showing how the scheme sits within its surroundings as it took shape.

Together, the two perspectives work well for portfolios, marketing, and case studies, showcasing both the architecture itself and the story of how it came together. For SRM, the finished imagery and footage provide a polished visual record of the project — useful for their own marketing as well as demonstrating the quality of the completed development to future clients and partners.
