February: We unveiled for the first time what the now completed Stubbs Mill would look like; 27,000 sq ft of cracking space packed with original features.
March: We headed off to MIPIM to launch hoUSe to the world. It went down well; when we got back The Telegraph hailed it “the blueprint for a pioneering housing concept…”
