To be frank, the firm had been through a pretty turbulent boom and bust history in its first five years at the end of the 80\u2019s and it was something of a phoenix rising from the ashes, albeit building from some solid foundations \u2013 terra firma even. \u00a0Getting a partner aboard was as much John\u2019s \u2018game plan\u2019 for making a gradual exit from practice (4 years later) as it was mine to start running my own thing.\u00a0 Thankfully it worked well for us both.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_819\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-819\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/20120820162536598_00011.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-819\" title=\"20120820162536598_0001\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/20120820162536598_00011-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/20120820162536598_00011-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/20120820162536598_00011.jpg 728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-819\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1996; John Wigham and Lionel at the old offices in The Spain, Petersfield.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is sometimes hard to remember that back then computer technology and the web was still in its early days within the profession, as were a lot of the now universally accepted practices of EIA, Green Infrastructure and sustainable technologies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1010016.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-820\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1010016-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1010016-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1010016.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An early Terra Firma project, Hampshire Corporate Park, twenty years on in 2007.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sixteen years on and the workload of schools, residential and healthcare with the occasional business park (and one or two quite\u00a0 high profile ones both here and in the USA to be fair)\u00a0has expanded to large scale strategies, masterplans and assessments with projects all over the world.
