From the archive. On this day in August 1999 we appeared in the Surrey Mirror for a piece on the Total solar eclipse which happened on 11 August 1999. We even splashed out on a Champagne picnic in Priory Park to mark the occasion. The next total solar eclipse is due on 23 September 2090.
It’s great to see Croydon back in business.
Great to be back at The Towner Gallery in Eastbourne to see the excellent Alan Davie and David Hockney Exhibition. Dance Diagonal by Lothar Gotz still shines on the Towner facade.
It’s great to see our Reigate neighbours @everyman.reigate are back in business and showing a collection of classic movies. We’ve missed you too!
Exciting to see our latest project in Kingswood, Surrey. This replacement dwelling lies within the Kingswood Warren & The Glade Residential Area of Special Character. #unlockingpotential #planningandarchitecture #planning #townplanning #architecture #design #urbandesign #detail #kingswood #croydon #reigate #redhill #surrey #southeast #london #placemaking #innovation #creative #inspiration #vision #forwardthinking #WSRelationships #WSProfessionalism #WSCommunity
Perfect day out @thesculpturepark yesterday. Whatever the weather it’s a great day out and always plenty to see and do.

Pleased to see our new office signage courtesy of @partnersforprint in Church Street, Reigate. Thank you to the NHS and all key workers from the WS team. #lovereigate #reigatebackinbusiness #shopsafeshoplocal
It was great to assist with another success for @silverleafgroup and @ob.architecture having obtained permission today for 9 apartments In Tunbridge Wells after a lengthy planning process. Permission granted at virtual committee today by Wealden District Council following the previous approval by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council back in January. Application sites that cross into neighbouring authorities are quite rare yet often result in a drawn out process. Patience and persistence needed in equal measure. #unlockingpotential
Reigate rooftops and chimney pots.
Remembering Christo. #londonmastaba Summer 2018. We are grateful for having visited this incredible artwork on the Serpentine during our Summer Gallery Trip in 2018.

While it is positive to see certain restrictions being lifted we continue to work remotely from home. We are pleased to see the number of site visits with existing and new clients increasing which is positive news for the industry as we continually adapt to adhere to Government guidelines. We have produced a thorough COVID-19 Risk Assessment and every WS Team member has been issued a PPE kit to enable them to work safely whether on site or in time at our respective offices in Reigate and Croydon. We are thankful to our Team, clients and Preferred Partners for their continual support as well as the NHS and other key workers for keeping us safe during these times.

Beautiful view from Redhill Common on #Surreyday
Thank you to @chandlerjes and his team at Stanton Construction for flying the flags in Reigate town centre in honour of our NHS, key workers and of course St George’s Day. #staysafeeveryone #reigatebusinessguild #reigate #stgeorgesday
Delighted to read that Dance Diagonal by @lothargoetz at the @townergallery in Eastbourne will be staying for another year. It is the UK’s largest mural and a truly beautiful work of art. These images were taken after an inspirational talk by Lothar at the gallery last Summer (he’s wearing the cap in the 2nd image). It was interesting to hear his thoughts regarding colour and how it can change architecture. On Dance Diagonal he explained how the building becomes an artwork and Eastbourne becomes the gallery. #lothargoetz #dancediagonal #towner #townergallery #eastbourne
