Our office overlooks Norwich market, with big sash windows and lots of light 

We use the best kit we can to make sure everyone is comfortable. (E.g: Herman Miller ‘Mirra’ chairs, sit-stand desks, Anglepoise lamps, nice music and good coffee)

The latest Macs help us to work collaboratively using Archicad, Twinmotion, Adobe suite and others
