The review by Stuart Harrison highlights how the project “acknowledges cultural and architectural significance”, and we believe this to be a very accurate portrayal of what is a truly amazing feat of restoration architecture. This in-depth collaborative approach with KTA throughout the entire documentation and construction stage proves that great minds, with co-operative teamwork, creates great buildings. The building has been well received and celebrated, receiving the Victorian Architecture Medal, the George Knight Award for Heritage, and a Commendation for Public Architecture from the AIA.”
A special congratulations to Branch Studio Architects, Pandolfini Architects and Panovscott, whom we are proud to be associated with on their nominated projects.
The new name for the practice reflects the existing four-year partnership of Alan O’Driscoll, Gai Palmer and Dale Simpson, and follows on from more than a decade of the three partners working together. We believe the new name and logo provides a positive, modern brand that will serve the company into the new decade – our fifth as a well-regarded structural and civil consultancy.
We are excited to announce this new change and very much look forward to continuing to work with all of our long-standing clients – with the same management, same team, same quality, and same commitment to responsive, detailed, and intelligent engineering services – but with a new name to take us into the new decade.
