Ihope many of you received your link to our latest Retrospective ; this time a look back over 20 years of office developments featured in Architect and Builder Magazine . Such great feedback from our readers which makes the mammoth effort in compiling over 120 projects worthwhile . So interesting to follow the course of architectural style

and introduction of new finishes and design elements over the years .

Some have mentioned that certain office developments were missing from the Retrospective . That may be so , but only because firms have not reached out to ensure the building gets published at the time of completion . Although we like to think we have our ear to the ground regarding what is happening development-wise , some projects do get missed . Making sure your work features in the magazine is very much a collaborative effort between ourselves , the architects and the developers , so don ’ t miss out – get in touch ! You will find a link to the Offices Retrospective below if you haven ’ t seen it yet . We will be continuing with another Retrospective next year , which is also coincides with our 75th anniversary .
