Few people fail to notice the new Vishuddha Yoga Centre building in East Street, Oxford. The striking copper façade has attracted admiration and notoriety – but is rarely ignored.

Clarkson Alliance were brought in to help navigate and support the successful delivery of this sensitive development by providing cost management (QS) services.
