Doug has been appointed to work alongside Ian Ritchie Architects in preparing a master plan and concept designs for a new visitor centre and business park at Farsons Brewery on Malta. Farsons came to prominence in the environmental design sector in the late 1980s when it commissioned Europe’s largest passively conditioned industrial building from Brian Ford and Alan Short of Peake Short and Partners. All three, Brian, Alan and the building have all gone on to achieve distinguished careers in environmental design and have been influences on Doug’s own thinking in the field.
