MIPIM Challenge 2010

Paul McPartland and Huw Burgess took part in the MIPIM Challenge, organised by cost consultants Cyril Sweett. Their three-day drive in a Maserati Gran Turismo S took them through the Champagne and Burgundy regions, finishing in a truly awesome drive through the Alpes Maritimes.

"The MIPIM Challenge allowed us to spend more time with senior decision makers in the industry." Says Paul McPartland. "They learnt how Open Archtecture has grown in ten years into a creative and dynamic architectural practice. We are celebrating the success of our newly opened Sevenoaks office, while our London office also remains busy.

After the event we took the view that although the show was smaller, it was actually more focussed and the most productive we have been to and we are now following up leads generated there.
