Aerial House Portrait for Hello Magazine

Hello Magazine Aerial House Portraits

We were delighted to be hired by Hello Magazine Italy for a shoot and article they were developing of James & Fitri Hay at their famous house Birch Grove House in Horsted Keynes, West Sussex. Our role was to provide the aerial photography of the stunning house and grounds of Birch Grove House. Whilst creating aerial house portraits is certainly nothing new to us, this particular property was certainly more than a little bit special. It was definitely the first time we’ve been asked to include the helicopter that the occupants flew in on!

Photography of Birch Grove House
Birch Grove House is a country house dating from 1926. It was the family home of the British prime minister Harold Macmillan, Earl of Stockton, who died there in 1986. It has had many famous guests over its’s history – during Macmillan’s time alone, Charles De Gaulle, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Nikita Khrushchev, Jawaharlal Nehru and John F. Kennedy all spent time there. The house is now owned by the Scottish entrepreneur James Hay. Birch Grove is a Grade II listed building.

Italian Hello Magazine had commissioned the article in order to showcase this incredible property and the family that owns it. Along with the external images, including capture of the private golf course, the stunning interiors were also featured to showcase the incredible design that has been lavished upon them.

In 2011 Birch Grove House was purchased by the Scottish born entrepreneur James Hay and his wife Fitri. He is the Chairman of Dubai-based JMH Group – a private family business operating in the construction and high end luxury goods markets. Mr Hay once a senior executive at BP, also has extensive interests in horse racing. Together with his wife they pursue many philanthropic and racing activities, hunting, shooting, fishing, golf, rugby and football and travel extensively.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging During Building Surveys

Beyond the Surface: Discovering Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging during Building Surveys Building surveys have evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in thermal imaging technology and the transformative impact of thermal imaging during building surveys, uncovering concealed issues that traditional methods might overlook. The Power of Thermal Imaging Thermal imaging enables a deeper understanding of a building’s thermal performance. By capturing infrared radiation, these cameras reveal temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. This non-destructive technique is particularly valuable for identifying hidden issues affecting a building’s efficiency and structural integrity. Harnessing thermal imaging technology during surveys provides a comprehensive overview of a building’s insulation, HVAC systems, and potential air leaks. This proactive approach goes beyond the surface, allowing for precise problem detection before they escalate. Unearthing Insulation Deficie...
