Sustainable Landscaping

Sustainable landscape design is an approach to designing and constructing the natural landscapes that surround our buildings. If possible these landscapes should maintain themselves and survive by being part of the natural cycles of the local enviroment. This means finding out what the original enviroment was like, although the landscape in our cities and even rural areas, has undergone significant transformations almost everywhere. more

Oxford 360, sustainability & PMI

A few years ago we asked Estonian Proffessor Kalle Komissaarov to describe our sustainability concept to support our planning process in one project. At that time we were doing something sufficiently new and positive that we had to involve a professor in order to build credibility at the local government level, which had difficulty in believing that a developer could come with such plans. The professor wrote a document in the local language describing the latest trends in the world and why our approach is leading (and perhaps in 10 years, will be done by more developers), in order to create a versatile and suitable planning in any area. more

Which Way for the Great British Pound?

Yet more volatility has ensued since our last weekly blog. The Pound has reached its highest rate against the €uro since 2008 and last Thursday bought further data to add to the current melting pot of instability as both the Bank of England and European Central Bank released data and held press conferences.

For those clients buying in Europe and doing a GBP / EURO exchange, the rates are still very favorable with the rate being 1.20320 at 3pm Tuesday 15th June. No one can be sure how long this will last or how long it may be before the pound weakens. more

Nigel Hodges on the latest currency markets

Hi, this is my first mini blog to offer a short update on the last month and what's happening in the currency markets.
