We can’t wait to experience the brilliance of Jørn Utzon tomorrow with our Project Architect – Joseph Langman’s overview of the acclaimed Danish architect. Generations have been captivated by his designs--from the world-renown Sydney Opera House to many other awe-inspiring structures.

At LHC Design we aim to cultivate a culture of innovation that inspires curiosity and supports creativity. As part of our focus on design excellence, our architects and designers run a series of in-house workshops and CPD’s that glean inspiration from their passion and experience.

Joseph known to us as Joe, offers a unique insight informed by his studies in architecture at Aalborg University, Denmark, where Utzon grew up. Joe regularly attended lectures, presentations, exhibitions and group discussions at the famous Utzon Centre. The centre was planned not as a museum, but as a place for socialising and sharing ideas, where people could meet up and discuss ideas for the future.

Navigating 8 of Utzon’s key projects, Joe brings a personal perspective, privileged insight and local knowledge. Ranging from private residential spaces such as Utzon's house in Hellebæk, Denmark, to large-scale public spaces like the Sydney Opera House and the Bagsværd Church in Copenhagen.

It's no surprise that Jørn Utzon was honoured with a World Heritage site for his iconic Sydney Opera House. He stands as only the second person in history to have received such recognition during their lifetime - an accomplishment well deserving of our admiration!

We are constantly looking at effective ways to inspire Design Excellence and integrate a range of workplace activities like this one, alongside design reviews, stimulating debates, and mentoring.

On this premise, Joe is ready to take this show on the road and share his knowledge! He'll be visiting different LHC Studio locations with Plymouth being his next stop on April 5th. We’re considering opening this opportunity for others to join in the future, so we'd love to hear your thoughts, let us know in the comments below.

Best of luck Joe, her er til en fantastisk præsentation! (Here’s to a great presentation!)

Yesterday afternoon Glayne Price MCIAT attended the beautiful Powderham Castle for the The West Country Women Awards Finalists announcement. She was delighted to announce the three Finalists for the 'Green Business' category whilst also celebrating all of our semi-finalists in terms of the work that they have been within their own businesses and fields.

The process has been somewhat difficult due to the high calibre of nominees. Following a chat and a coffee with all our semi-finalists Paul Osborne, Rebecca Thurgood and Glayne Price MCIAT had the unenviable task of shortlisting from the original 6 down to just 3 - a difficult task due to the diverse nature of all our nominees.

However, they finally got there and congratulations to Elaine Anning (Global City Futures), Lola Grogan (The Eco-Laundry) and Kate Richards & Soozy Willis (The Queens@46)

We look forward to seeing you all at the finals on 1st December at The Crown Plaza in Plymouth when we will announce our winner!
