Practice Update
July 2010
As parent company Terra Firma celebrates its 25th birthday back in the UK, we are well into our 5th year of trading and keeping very busy in the UAE with everything from Villa developments and schools to new town masterplans. While MASDAR has gone on temporary 'hold', Manarat Al Saadiyat cultural centre completes on the ground and design work on Abu Dhabi's new Hard Rock Hotel has now begun in earnest.
We were sad to see Leander Steyn leave us in February after nearly 3 years with the firm but we have welcomed back Senior Landscape Architect Aleksandra Mucalov.
The directors have made visits to both Oman and Lebanon recently both resulting with doing more in both places.
