The Team
We are a highly motivated team. We enjoy working together and socialising together. We have weekly staff meetings to review project and management issues so all staff know exactly what is happening. We manage ourselves efficiently and strive for a good life/work balance. We aim to involve as many of the team as possible at the early stages of each project to widen awareness and enrich our design response. Both Partners take a continuing interest in every project. Each architect has his/her own area of particular expertise. We play to our strengths. We offer strength in depth.
