A sense of independence: with commissions in Sheffield and the City of London, Pringle Richards Sharratt is establishing an enviable reputation

Article Abstract:

Pringle Richards Sharratt (PRS) is an independent architectural practice formed by John Pringle nine months ago. The new firm's springboard is its connection with the V&A museum and its first major building will be the Millennium Gallery and Winter Garden in Sheffield, if Lottery funding is available. PRS rates ecological concerns high on its agenda and its entry for the Hungerford Bridge competition reflects this. The practice also takes on relatively small jobs and its latest project is an in-depth appraisal of Bastion House for the City.
