从他们在伦敦市中心新建的明亮的白色总部，约翰·麦克斯兰和他的团队肯定度过了忙碌的一年。虽然大型国王十字开发委员会正在进行中，但在过去几个月里，全球一些规模较小的项目进展迅速。更多的项目正在进行中，从住宅到商业，包括伦敦能源中心，为人们期待已久的2012年奥运会。它还计划在视觉上及时进化，因为金属会氧化。这种材料解决方案需要最少的维护和耐腐蚀，也是一种非常可持续的解决方案.为完全不同的气候和环境而设计的约翰·麦克斯兰在阿尔及尔的英国大使馆大楼最近也落成了。大使馆是一个特别生态敏感的项目，设计成一系列弯曲的平行墙，环绕着循环、办公空间和庭院。马拉维一系列可持续学校建筑中的第一座于几周前启用，另有三座目前正在建造中。这个简单的结构是为了最大限度地发挥作用而设计的。
