The projects shortlisted include; Comet Works, Princip Street Derwent Works, Herietta Street Riflemaker, Water [...]
In a previous blog we looked at the red doors along Birmingham's canals, focusing on Saturday Bridge. This time, we're going to take a brief look at Friday Bridge. Just a stone's throw from Saturday Bridge, you will find Friday Bridge, or at least you will find it on maps, because sadly it no [...]

It's been a long wait, but spring is finally here! We know we usually blog about buildings but we thought we'd mix things up this month and take a look at the Jewellery Quarter from a different view. From blossom to bluebells, we captured spring in the Quarter through a macro lens. It’s May, and [...]

They bring the team together, allowing us to socialise in an informal, laid-back setting, but socials also enhance the culture of the workplace and importantly, they're fun!
