The second edition of the Journal explores some of the projects BHB has been working on and some of the people it has been working with. In his welcome, Harry Becher writes that BHB and its group of companies have grown, with projects from Miami to Budapest, Ibiza to Athens and New York to Havana. A separate BHB USA piece describes taking almost a year to get BHB USA off the ground, and working with three buildings between New York and Miami.
