The laser scan survey was undertaken at The Windmill Suffolk, one of the UK’s most unique and luxurious holiday accommodations. We undertook a day of laser scanning to provide the pointcloud for this unique historical building.

The pointcloud could be used at any point in the future to produce accurate as built drawings.

From this file we can produce:

– Floor Plans

– Cross Sections

– Elevations (Internal & External)

– Reflected Ceiling Plans

– Electrical Plans

– Floor Level / Flatness Survey

The scans were undertaken in colour and registered using Leica Cyclone. We also put it through Faro Scene software to create the still images you can see further down. 

Luxury property photography is all about showing off! If you have luxury accommodation on offer then you really need to sell it and it make people want to visit. To be a high end hospitality business and have high paying customers you have to be willing to invest in the right look and feel for your premises and also in the right images to help you stand out from the crowd. There is not point in spending many thousands on getting your rooms right and then trying to cut corners with the photos. It is vital for the future of your business that you get the right photographer for the job.

Top Santé Editorial Director, Katy Sunnassee, visited The Windmill Suffolk for a birthday celebration to remember – here’s her review…

Want a secluded, romantic getaway with a difference? And to get some perspective on life while you’re at it? You’ll be able to do both while up above the clouds – almost! – at The Windmill Suffolk. It was once a working windmill but is now a converted, luxury B&B not far from the town of Lavenham in Suffolk.

Renovated and re-invented by husband-and-wife team Natalie and Steven. The Windmill is an award-winning, eye-catching hideaway just two miles from the medieval village of Lavenham.

Today marks the fifth birthday of The Windmill Suffolk – an architectural marvel converted over several years by a couple with a vision for a luxury holiday let.

Natalie and Steve Roberts bought the dilapidated windmill two miles north of Lavenham in 2008 when they moved to Suffolk.

Built in 1890, it had been used for storage for the past 100 or so years and was in a state of rapid deterioration, meaning something needed to be done fast.

Mr and Mrs Windmill are excited to be included in the Extraordinary Escapes Book- Unique and Wild Getaways Across the UK

Extraordinary Escapes uncovers the hidden treasures that the UK has to offer, featuring unique and characterful holiday homes from the hit Channel 4 series, plus many more. These incredible getaways showcase England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, including some of the most stunning areas of Suffolk, Kent, the Cotswolds, Devon, Cornwall and Norfolk.

Dotted across the UK countryside are beacons of the past, their sails upflung against the skyline, telling tales of when wind powered our food industry and life was pretty darn tough.

Many stand in ruins, others have been lovingly restored by enthusiasts and a few are now modernised, adapted and converted for luxury living.

Crowned “the most unique place to stay” by a recent South Western Railway report, The Windmill is a boutique bolthole perfect for a romantic hideaway, or for fun filled time off with friends.

Suffolk is home to some of the best Airbnbs in the UK, stretching right across the county.

There are hundreds of stays for holidaymakers or short-trip travellers to visit, ranging from private single bedrooms to entire guesthouses.
