The plan inflects to create a sheltered external space that acts as a transitional zone between the centre and the park. The building’s circulation is compressed into a tight vertical slot at the centre of the plan, linking its two diametric façades, various levels, activities and functions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1519164616731-KVVQ6CW7CRNE8Q065HL6/sqaurespaceimage3.jpg Work A low turf roofed stone-faced building abuts a cross-laminated timber two-storey construction with a sculpted roof form that folds down to respect to the existing buildings and a ridge point defined by a cart shed beyond, housing the plant. The farmyard elevation has a covered veranda mirroring that of the cookery school, allowing a buffer for the rooms and enlivening the yard. The rooms above at first floor take advantage of the far-reaching views, with slatted shutters to provide privacy, shade from the afternoon sun, and animate the facade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1503656401062-ZDSQKAX9QEISN8HIX43Q/1617ss1b.jpg Work This installation for part of the London Design Festival achieved a big impact with a minimum of means. The 70x7m grid system holds a pixelated array of panels, which are orientated to reflect or provide glimpses of the foliage beyond, merging the artifice and nature. The arrangement of the pixels directs visitors to the entrances and acts as wayfinding signage. Reflective elements multiply the structural presence of the façade and the natural elements, allowing visitors to pass through the shrouded foliage as they enter the exhibition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1519920286273-D9O9CFHVOXJ3LWEPB5XK/SS+P1000432.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1534261729027-WM3XQII047D82CVVF63L/orford+north+east.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1533675536249-12O0DCTPYJYX8U5GZWQS/East+view+copy.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1540553329663-BKR0BMBPRUY6NKBVT8GA/7OAKS+CIRCLE+VIEW+copy+copy.jpg Work The circular form defines an arrival and orientation point from multiple directions, by local rail, car or long-distance footpath, connecting all the centre’s operations under one roof such that each component can operate individually or as part of the whole, with a continuous, mutable exhibition route, part internal, part external, threaded around the loop. It is a consolidated node from which all the wildlife paths radiate and loop – a true centre for the reserve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1534864111026-V4XRJ6Z3E3UMQNI4FHWZ/court+view+web.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1555412212109-DZKX71649AP0D1GHUPJJ/image-asset.jpeg Work Materials and detailing bond together the new and old elements of the complex. The barn-like structure of the new cookery school exploit the spectacular views and evening sunlight across the rural valley to the west with a crisp fully glazed wall, while connecting back into the farmyard via a veranda within an informal colonnade created by the offset of the structure to the outside. The massing and location of the new structures have been carefully considered to help reinstate the original Jacobean farmyard arrangement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1515411075573-NR34OFA0SZP9UQ79NP5L/image+02copy.jpg Work London’s parks have traditionally defined their identity and territory through their own ornate bespoke ironwork. The role of these formal park gates has been equally representational and functional. They act as individual spatial markers within the city, demarcating the boundary between streetscape and parkland, giving their parks an individual identity. ‘The Highams Park’ provides an invaluable and beautiful natural space for the surrounding communities and acts as a rich resource for conservation and scientific study in the city. The three simple gates unify the park’s entrances and demarcate them as thresholds to the green space beyond. Their representative quality is intended to be further enhanced by incorporating direct input from local communities into their design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1540921768322-458HAVDBO4QN48TAZZQT/el1.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1583757193955-XPM5UHJCOQK3VZ6OVPZL/BRIDGE+image.jpg Work Inclined floor planes unsettle and embrace visitors, leaning out to the seemingly fragile edges of the structure. This instability aims to promote a heightened engagement with its spaces that is entirely open, free and non-prescriptive. It is a place to clamber into, explore, curl up and relax or to look out, broadcast from or observe the changing city, working at both a human and an urban scale. The lens like nature of its transparent curtain wall acts as an illuminated surface at night, echoing the elevated torch flames from the first lighthouses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1583771389378-K53BQ0A2JUO4W7F6JY5Y/elevation+ed.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1583946016291-3DNTMF5U4WKAZHBAW8DG/view+02c.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1568028369156-ZTTXZOA357U5SIVO7WXC/VillaLesPlansMariza0160ed.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1585515360829-FGZ3ZULJIRNKAZ7MDMVH/Main+elevation.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1503835255891-0YS18GYVQG716QLTBFIF/BATHING.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1644416735128-LR44K1ZY0XMV2WRCKI16/022+exterior+1+edit.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1503660733537-P1TL4FI2OKMIKBKDBO5E/0609_17_H_OP.jpg Work This substantial house addition stretches out from the pitches of the original arts and crafts style building, folding and stepping down into the steep surrounding site. Its fold’s open fissures that highlight views around its interlocking rooms. Occupants move through a complex variety of spatial conditions and are provided with a series of carefully framed glimpses to the landscape around. An extended living room forms a transition point between the old and new. This space links the disparate programmes of the house and provides views out and reflected light in via the swimming pool below. The house employs highly insulated sustainable materials, heat exchange systems, stack ventilation and water harvesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1654525537781-MCTE1ZSGIKFSOBTKP7G0/view+01.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1530182078782-1I9G82AQZFMTDY8VFSYO/View+from+bridge.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1503666520457-YIR08WD6CR1YMC1BWTEC/squarespaceimage5.jpg Work The building’s plan and roof forms are a direct response to its tight site, setting it back from the surrounding trees and gardens, and pitching to minimise its volume. Built to an extremely tight budget, its main entrance is sculpted and cantilevered to create a dynamic composition at the narrowest point of the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1669052471518-PLTRI7RF3A9ZUQKPODV5/P1030793+warm+web.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1773680229108-N2FIP5V1A87WQBQGQFCS/refined+interior+01+crop.jpg Work Reconfigured interior - balance of open-plan and cellular living https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1773753578674-HJYNXRGMY0UIPQFALHUE/jenner+garden.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1682067962930-BMIC82TVSITNLUCITLZ3/023+external+01fsm.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1773679833452-W6R0FZF5UDFVMHOJNFMT/P1040611.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5959215b3e00bea5c50129b3/1503679247631-VXGHHWW450NVKOONOKKF/P1010978.JPG Work The Marriott Portsmouth hotel required extensive updating and remodelling to revitalise its appearance and operation while improving its thermal and acoustic performance. Taking advantage of a highly visible position on the main route into the city, folded metal panels were installed enliven the utilitarian building by highlighting shifting light and shade on approach and when traveling past on large adjacent roads, giving it a dynamic, beacon like appearance.
