This diagram illustrates the depth of thinking behind Blinkbonny, designed by .

The response to the drumlin landscape, glacial flow and exposure reflects the level of care and understanding we look for when working with architects, particularly a clear grasp of what sits beneath the building as much as what is seen above ground.
