Four architectural practices in the Thames Valley to watch
Despite a really rather challenging environment, the Thames Valley economy is soldiering on regardless, with plenty of commercial and residential developments getting the green light and being constructed as you read this.
Before ground can, quite literally, be broken - builders need plans to work from. Coming up with those detailed and usually really rather impressive designs are the region's vast swathe of highly-qualified and skilled architects.

The Thames Valley is spoiled for choice when it comes to talented and high-achieving architectural practices. To celebrate them, we've put together a list of some of the best. A list which is very much non-exhaustive...
