The evening began with Socrati Seretis warmly welcoming our guests and introducing our new director, Robert Page, who extended heartfelt thanks to our partners for their ongoing support and highlighted the exciting opportunities and vision shaping the future of Peddle Thorp Architects. We are proud of the legacy we’ve built and look forward to continuing our journey of innovation and collaboration. Here’s to the next chapter!

The students explored our design process, learned about the team’s vision, and saw firsthand how we shape the city through architecture. It was a fantastic opportunity to share our passion for design with the next generation of architects!
