Each year, our One Practice event is the highlight of the social calendar, bringing together the entire practice to celebrate all that we have achieved. This year the event was even more special, as we headed to Paris.
A truly beautiful city with an extremely rich and fascinating history of architecture, Paris was the perfect location for our annual One Practice event. Arriving in the city on a Friday afternoon, the team gathered at Le Grand Quartier for an evening social, giving everyone an opportunity to relax and catch up with colleagues, old and new.
The following morning, we were given an architectural tour of Batignolles, the biggest eco-district in Paris. Led by a team of French Architects, we were guided on an informed walk around one of the city's notable sustainability initiatives, which has created an attractive, liveable and environmentally responsible urban area. We then had the afternoon and evening to explore the city, take in the sights, and experience the Parisian culture.
Since our last One Practice event we have welcomed 6 new team members to the practice. We also recognised 11 team members who have reached a key long-service milestone since the last event. It's fantastic to see the practice continue to grow and develop.
One Practice holds great significance to us as an opportunity to celebrate individual contributions in addition to what we've achieved together as a collaborative whole.
