Why I do it …

"I have been lucky enough to have Robyn as my architect and planning advisor for two majordevelopment projects in the last year. I am very pleased with how she has come up with designs thatare sensitive to the surrounding architecture and environment, whilst introducing refreshinglycontemporary aspects that enliven and enhance both the spaces. And in both cases, she hassucceeded in getting the plans passed without any appeals, which is something I certainly wasn'texpecting to happen so smoothly."
