Architects build on another successful year

ONE of the region’s leading architects marked a year of continued success with a celebration with clients, staff, friends and family.

The annual Niven Architects event was staged this year at Houndgate Townhouse, Darlington’s first ‘design’ hotel.

Entertainment was provided by the Vintage Belles singers and classical guitarist Anthony Davison.

Niven Architects director Simon Crowe said: “It has been an incredibly exciting year in which we have won global acclaim for our development of BIM – Building Information Modelling – which uses state of the art computer software to provide a single set of three dimensional plans for building schemes of all sizes.

“In the construction industry this is seen as pioneering in its approach to design placing the practice on the world map.”
