Last year we discovered this photo of our offices from 1902. Northgate Studios was designed by Launceston architect Otho Peter in 1897. This image shows John Moulton (later Baron Moulton) addressing the crowds from the balcony after being returned as Liberal MP for Launceston.

Looking to upgrade or enlarge a commercial space? The extra space made all the difference to the Fat Hippo Café in Homeleigh Garden Centre. The extended space has allowed the centre to capitalise on the beautiful views. See our portfolio for more: placearchitects.co.uk/portfolio/
