There is also work from when Mahaddie was self-employed as BoCo, and his time with Conran Roche and YRM architecture firms. The materials are plans, concept drawings, proposals, elevations and axonometrics. The last series is made up of smaller projects for no identified company and those projects which are unidentified.
