Established in 1960, 1 Newcastle-Upon-Tyne firm FaulknerBrowns has created a niche for itself in civic and public building. The specialisation has made it the largest practice in the area, with over 80 architectural staff earning over £7 million in fees in 2017. But while it's involved in new high-profile projects such as the proposed Swindon Snow centre, inspired apparently by Brunei's workshop architecture in the town, and George Kenyon's 1968, grade II* Newcastle Civic centre - it's one project got it onto this year's Besties list: The Word library in South Shields.
