Castle Green Homes is a forward-thinking housebuilder. Formally Macbryde homes, the 35-year-old business is undergoing rapid change to reflect their more digital approach to marketing and selling homes.
To align with this new identity and ethos, their entire branding, website and marketing strategy is receiving a digital uplift. In addition they’ve designed a new housetype range to feature on all future developments.
Willow Fields is located in Warrington and consists of 145 plots. It’s the first development featuring their new housetype range and is marketed under the new Castle Green branding.
EyeSiteView connected with the Castle Green team in early 2021. Together we defined a brief that redefines their traditional marketing methods and projects an enhanced digital strategy and off-plan sales experience.
Without any showhomes built or marketing material for the new housetypes, we proposed creating digital twins of Willow Fields and each housetype to enable the creation of our immersive and interactive services.
Key aims of the project include:
- Ability to launch off-plan and sell homes earlier
- Empower customers & sales advisors with interactive technologies
We generated a cohesive package of digital assets to transform the traditional marketing and sales strategy.

Customer buying behaviors are evolving. Consumers expect instant access and convenience, something Hannah Ryle (Marketing Manager) appreciates:
“We wanted a platform that empowers our customers and puts them in control. Our investment into digital marketing and sales tech allows homebuyers to start their purchasing journey earlier, all from the comfort of their own home.”
Willow Fields was launched online in June 2021. Sales are strong with many homes already sold off-plan.
The development webpage is packed full of the new interactive CGI assets.
Hannah continues…
“We’re really pleased with the end result. The services easily integrated into the current website structure and provides our customers with an enhanced user experience”
The sales team at Castle Green are finding creative ways of using the immersive content.
“We love the new tech. I often use the Virtual Tours to teleport my customers inside our virtualshowhomes. It really helps them to begin to imagine living there.”
