Brief description of the business:
This practice embraces all scales of architecture: town-planning, singular buildings, one family houses, the rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing buildings and interior design, and finally culminates at the scale of a piece of furniture. The project for the refurbishment of a kitchen is as important to us as the design of a one-family house or a large public building. This practice was founded in 1995 by partners who are British and Catalan. We have a deep understanding of both Northern European and Catalan and Spanish culture, which is essential for successfully managing projects through the workings of the public administration both in large towns as well as in tiny villages.

Why and when I did start my business:
In 1995 after winning our first competition which was the Health Centre in Castellar del Vall?s.
This is my target market or audience:
Private clients who might want projects of all scales: from the renovation, refurbishment or interior design of homes or businesses, as well as new-build domestic, retail, leisure or office spaces.
How I would like to see my business change in the future:
My advice to other BWN members which want to start a own business:
My biggest business achievement:
Each competition we have won, because each submission is like playing the lottery with days on end without sleep, but with a lot of hope.
