Like many people, we're looking forward to restaurants re-opening! It will be good to see @WildHoneySJ busy again. It was a privilege to work on this hotel project and in this setting with Jim Hamilton Design

Our concept work for a small infill plot in Hammersmith. We advocate closing urban gaps where possible, rather than taking up new land elsewhere

Good to see our Devonshire Place project with DAO ESTATE LIMITED feature on @PrimeResi. We have recently completed extensive remodelling, extension, and conversion of this important Grade II Listed building in Marylebone into six self-contained apartments.
Delighted to have @HamandHigh feature our Chesterford Home in Hampstead. Have a read to find out how we swiftly turned this outdated Victorian semi into a contemporary, custom-designed family home. hamhigh.co.uk/lifestyle/prop…

Have you seen this @TEDTalks by @KateRaworth? We must change the way we think about resource consumption in the property industry. When you link Kate's economic theory with the goal of achieving the RIBA sustainable outcomes 2030, we have a challenge.
