Hope was respected as a building planner but was a poor draftsmanquote 2] and required a large number of assistants to interpret his ideas. By the 1930s, he was an intimidating figure dominating an office in which there was a strict hierarchy of professionsGeorge Grenfell-Baines (2000), interviewed by Louise Brodie at Preston, (January 5 - 11) "Architects’ Lives", London: National Biographical Archive, C467/46/F7839] . One of his interpreters was George Grenfell Baines whose work so impressed Hope he considered making him a partner quote ] . Hope was a Traditionalist, favouring a severe classical style derived from the later Georgian architects, with a strong dislike of Modernism; under his direction Bradshaw Gass & Hope continued to produce neo-Georgian designs until the 1960s.
