Law firm thrives in the L-shaped room with a view

Article Abstract:

The English law firm Wilde Sapte needed to bring all of its separate office sites in London into one central office. They chose a 4 year old building by the Thameslink station at Holborn, London utilizing the L-shape of the building to create small offices which are the most suitable for the work of a law firm. The new staff restaurant and lecture theatre reflect the use of color to enhance good design.

Local ecology preserved within new exhibition centre

Article Abstract:

Dodd Jamieson Partnership's design for the Bennachie Centre, a development at the base of the Bennachie hill range in Grampian, ensures that it blends in closely with the natural environment. The scheme uses local stone, granite and timber, with the plan being based on a series of concentric circles. The use of a masonry wall and concrete floor slab ensures good thermal mass.
