Last week, we celebrated a fantastic first half of the year at our summer parties with our teams in Farnham and Bristol. It was a great opportunity to get together, reflect on what we’ve achieved so far in 2026, and thank everyone for all their hard work.
Members of the OSP Farnham office enjoyed a relaxed evening of pottery painting and conversation at the Women in Planning event in Wokingham on Wednesday. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with women from across the planning and construction industry in the South East, share experiences, and get to know one another in a creative and welcoming setting!
We’re pleased to share that planning permission has been approved for 9 new homes in West Sussex! Inspired by the area’s rural heritage, the farmstead courtyard-style development has been designed to sit comfortably within the surrounding village. The scheme will offer a mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes, with views across green spaces, ponds and landscaped boundary planting.
Earlier this month, the OSP Architecture Team took part in an Easter Egg Decorating Competition, which was a great way to bring everyone together, get families involved, and enjoy a bit of Easter fun. There were lots of fantastic and imaginative entries, with Shwetha from our Bristol office winning with her beautifully painted rabbit egg. We’re already looking forward to more creative competitions in the future!
Today, we celebrate the women whose creativity, leadership, and technical expertise drive our industry forward. From all of us at OSP Architecture, thank you for the talent and dedication that shape our work and elevate our practice!
