Great projects and a fantastic standard of workmanship. I especially like the connection details on the Dinosaur Museum and the fabrication of the external screen to the Junction 9 Yoga and Pilates Studio. Congratulations to all concerned – I now want to visit some of these buildings!

Wonderful projects and very exciting to see. I also loved the Dinosaur Museum, as it is pretty spectacular, but I also liked very much the beautiful, clean lines of the institution buildings and the creativity of the yoga and pilates project. Congratulations from the Royal Scottish Forestry Society to all concerned.
