5/5

I have been impressed with the team at Space + Place Design, and in particular with the way that Avra Ploumi-Archer has engaged sensitively with all parties, skilfully explaining complex issues and constraints of the site with enormous amounts of patience, and in language suitable for the range of different audiences.  The Feasibility Study Report clearly sets out the different design options and potential operating models.  It concludes with an action plan that provides structure for all parties moving forwards.

Throughout this project Avra has demonstrated extensive knowledge of project delivery models, urban landscapes, design and community engagement.  The professionalism and good humour of Avra and her team have made them a joy to work with.
