Testimonials

Dominic Hook, Architect Director - Building Design Partnership (BDP)

At BDP, we have had the joy of working with Concrete Clouds for years. Benji’s dedication, creativity, and professionalism never fails to impress. His unique, imaginative and adaptable style brings our designs to life, capturing their essence with remarkable character and vision in every illustration. We know we can always count on him to deliver with speed and efficiency - on time - and with confident flair. We will always look for opportunities to collaborate.

David Holt, Director - Studio 74

Studio 74 worked for the first time with Concrete Clouds recently on a pitch for a new high profile project and can highly recommend. Benji has a talent for not only drawing beautifully but for bringing initial ideas to life in a way that represented our aspirations. The process is quick and easy and his work communicates ides in a much richer and more personal way than any computer aided drawing or visual could, in a fraction of the time.

Richard Witt, Principal - BDP Quadrangle

Benji’s imagery is sensational.

Riccardo Bobisse, Director - AR Urbanism

Working with Concrete Clouds is always a great experience. Benji helps us to shape our ideas through artistic impressions and sketches that communicate our vision. I highly recommend Concrete Clouds.

We believe that great architecture and design starts with a great story. Let’s arrive at design conclusions together, through client focused, user inspired illustrations that capture your vision.

Client List

Why an illustration or a sketch?

At Concrete Clouds, we believe drawings are about storytelling. Drawings offer a highly effective way in which to raise questions about design; right from the first pen put to paper (or iPad!). Sketches and illustrations allow for a strain of visualisation that inspire creativity and freedom throughout the development of a scheme.

We use illustration as an alternative to showing highly polished renderings of finished schemes at stages when YOU, the client or designer, may not exactly be sure of what scheme you might, could or should develop.

At Concrete Clouds, drawings emerge alongside the design thinking, and questioning of a project; allowing for the design process to be alive and active. Fundamentally, we draw and sketch as architects always have whilst bringing drawings and projects to life in a modern, engaging and exciting way.
