Sadly, I didn't see any thumbnails, even after entering the site - just one largish graphic. :-(

Hi Manny - yes that did the trick.

Here's my constructive criticism..

First of all, it's an excellent site and one of the best of it's kind I've seen -elegant, functional and fitting to the subject. Top class.

The opening page (beyond the loader) shows a 3D render and I'm really surprised that it was chosen as the first view for the site. I would have used a photograph. The reason I say that is that in comparison with many other architectural renderings I've seen, the ones on the site aren't of the best quality and I don't think this opening 3D render is doing the clearly excellent architectural work justice.

The site has my favourite hate and no-no : "Under Construction". All web sites are evolving and "under construction", so why, oh why put in a more section if there is no more to show? When you have more just add it in!

A tiny niggle is where once a project is chosen - for example "Camberwell Development 001", I see the thumbnails and the project title above; I just want to click on that project title to give me back the list of projects to choose from. I think the reason is that the white bars top and bottom are making me think of the Flash Concertina component. It's just a little thing that gets me every time.

Lets be honest - my niggles are tiny things and this is a superb site. Well done. I'm sure that your clients will be delighted.

Well done on the flash site

I have see some flash sites before, some gimmicky ones and some good ones. But I can say that i am impressed with the site, Professional and Clear.

Nice touch with the square box that follows the mouse

Nice pictures and nice layout, but too small font sizes.
I'm working with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 px and it's hard to read the text.
