September 1983 Architectural Review
Advantageous finance schemes arranged by the government allowed practices to build
purpose designed premises. Furthermore, they could employ the best architects and
use top quality fittings and equipment.
Our first such building was an elaborate extension, reviewed in The Architectural Journal
- link below.
Our second building - a new medical centre - was shared with another practice, and won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects as the best new building in East Anglia that year, as well as a Civic Trust award.
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us. Winston Churchill
