“White Ink Architects were always happy to engage in matters of minor detail, and that underpinned the success of this development.”

We felt that their careful response to working with and integration to existing buildings would be key to the success of our project. We are delighted with the openness of the new glazed extension and its ability to cross the divide between the internal and external realms.”
