Osprey Quay LOCOG Handover

gd — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:39:26 +0000

This week saw the handover of new residential development Officers Field in Portland, Weymouth to LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games) for use as the official Athletes’ Sailing Village accommodation for the London Olympics.

We have worked on the project for a number of years now – from the original land bid submission, to ODA pitch all the way through to on site sales and marketing materials – from brochures, to website

It’s amazing to see the original designed scheme, in built form – looking stunning and feeling like a truly lovely place. Once the Olympics are over, all properties will revert back to private for sale and shared ownership homes.
More info about the project can be found here

Richmond Station Posters

If you happen to be passing through Richmond train station in the near future, pop over to Platform 1 (southbound) as there is currently a fine display of vintage transport posters.

It looks like the display panels have been stripped back for replacement and these vintage prints have been unearthed.

Particularly nice, are the Rail Rovers, the launch of the Gatwick Express and travel to Jersey & Guernsey.

We thought we would make a festive effort to decorate our office windows this year with some classic cracker jokes to get everyone in the festive spirit.

Happy Christmas!

January Update:
We received a lovely ‘thank you’ card from a stranger named D in response to our window display.
Made our day!

Future Designers

Last night, the team took part in a portfolio speed dating session with second and third year students from the Design for Graphic Communication course at London College of Communication. There was a wide range of work to have a look at including some nice handmade books and interesting print work.

It’s always interesting to see and hear what design students are looking at, exploring and experimenting with – and makes you realise that those things are still really important in all the work that you do – even after graduating and entering the workplace.

We look forward to a continued involvement with the students and college throughout the year.
