“Difficult Par, Easy Bogey”
Mr. Jones´ European work was taking sufficient time by 1970 to warrant the opening of a permanent office, and Mr. Robinson arrived in Spain of December of that year for that purpose. Almost 20 years later, Mr. Robinson left Mr Jones´ office to establish his own design practice.Within two months he secured projects on the Costa del Sol, Spain, and in the south of France. During the ensuing years he continued working throughout Europe and Morocco, areas in which he had accumulated the majority of his practical experience.
