It’s been just over a week now, no doubt we’ve all caught up on some much needed rest, and most have now returned home. It seems like an opportune time to acknowledge what an amazing adventure the 2012 Dulux study tour has been. What a truly wonderful group of people to share the adventure with. Emily, Shaun, Wei, Anna and James are truly deserving of this wonderful prize, their passion and love or architecture was truly inspiring.
Of course the tour wouldn’t be possible without the sponsorship from Dulux. The trip wouldn’t be the same without Phil’s wise words, funny stories and of course amazing karaoke talent! The fun and energy Sarah brought to the group was a pleasure and the smooth operation of the tour wouldn’t have been possible without her there.
We were so lucky and grateful to all of the inspiring people and practices we met along the way. A big thank you to the following people. Meeting all of you was fantastic. The time and energy you gave us was greatly appreciated and deeply inspiring!
