This is us

A team who care too much to make ordinary work. The dark horse by design. Agile, hands-on, and obsessed with building standout property brands, websites, and CGI for the schemes they deliver.

We build belief

We're not a design factory. Every project is crafted with care, guided by our directors and shaped by our Belief Strategy.

With a 12 strong in-house team of designers, strategists and CGI artists working side by side, quality isn't just the goal, it's built in.

For us, it's all about building belief. Getting under the skin through discovery and insight to uncover what makes your brand or your homes worth believing in, and worth buying.

Driving creativity in property.

We believe creativity is the single most powerful force in property marketing, especially when the market's tough and housebuilders need to work harder to stand out, connect and sell.

That's why in 2025, we hosted BRCK Live. The first (and only) event dedicated to celebrating creativity in property. Held in the heart of London.

In partnership with Global Street Art & Property House, we brought conversation and debate around the power of creative thinking when selling homes.

Why do we have a floating brick as a mascot?

As kids, anything was possible with the first brick, you just needed belief. One brick, then two... and suddenly it wasn't just bricks anymore!

It was a castle.
A hideout.
A spaceship.

So that's why, with our brand refresh, we created Bricky, our brand mascot. A floating brick that reminds us anything is possible. And as a studio that spends every day designing & visualising property and places into neighbourhoods people can believe in, that means everything to us.

Because no one falls in love with a plan.
They fall in love with what it could feel like to live there.

Bricky keeps DCTR thinking bigger, imagining more, doing the "impossible" and building belief.

Let's build belief together

Whether a rebrand, a CGI project or launching an entire development - belief comes first. Let's make people want it, before they walk it.
