Reader Response

Bell Phillips & Kimble Architects would be my choice

The Robert Jamison design is appropriate to the area and its originality makes it noticeable and worth remembering.

The below comment refers to the project for Robert Jamison Architects

An excellent concept, beautifully executed. It is refreshing to see such clarity of thought in a market saturated with overly complicated design for design sake.

The project of Robert Jamison is a well considered architectural move on the site. It will be a landmark in the city and the recognizable typology can generate a process of reflection on the project by the local occupants.
