An astute assessment of the boundary conditions and topographical advantages presented by this site at the former Foxwood Centre informed a proposal for a resilient, multi-generational mix of housing types comprising family-oriented townhouses fronting Ridgeway Road and two blocks of modular volumetric 1- and 2-bedroom retirement living flats facing onto a linear Central Garden. A [...]

This striking, sustainable, carefully detailed residential development occupies the site of a beer garden adjacent to a locally-listed public house, delivering much needed family housing in a well-connected and increasingly desirable part of East London. The layout elegantly resolves the site’s trapezoidal geometry with two distinct terraces, providing a total of seven spacious 3-storeyfamily dwellings, [...]

This site on Barking Road in Plaistow was occupied by a vehicle services garage for more than 25 years before falling vacant. A new use was envisaged, consisting of eight high-quality new-build homes to address urgent local housing need. The site is notable for being at the intersection of three distinct urban geometries formed by [...]

This design for the refurbishment and extension of an existing mews house creates a luxury 3-bed family home within the existing building envelope. The building’s location within a sensitive Conservation Area required the carefully preservation and enhancement of its outward appearance, despite comprehensive internal demolitions. A basement was excavated within the footprint of the existing [...]

This elegant, robustly articulated 6-storey building comprises a mix of 35 generous apartments above ground floor office space. The elevations have been designed to provide a well-ordered rhythm and structure within which full-height windows and inset balconies form a unified, vertically-oriented composition. To reinforce a strong tectonic language, a rich but simple palette of high-quality, [...]

The proposed building provides 46 apartments for affordable rent as part of the first phase of the Winstanley and York Rd Estate regeneration. The site forms part of the western edge of the Winstanley Estate. The proposal is for a ‘pavilion’ building rising from six storeys (on the south and west elevations) to eight. The [...]

This 20m2 sun room was commissioned by private clients with a desire to be immersed in their garden all year round.  Truly a ‘garden room’, its materiality is dissolved into the simple interplay of transparent/translucent horizontal and vertical planes of toughened glass.  The glass roof is supported by a laminated glass beam and column. A [...]

This winning competition entry attempts to define a ‘new housing norm’, focussed on economy, repetition and sustainability.  The competition asked designers to “redefine housing for the 21st century”. The design was developed in collaboration with a manufacturer/contractor working at the forefront of off-site manufacturing and sustainable construction.  The resulting product was a highly adaptable housing [...]

This mixed use scheme, on the site of an existing television studio, was designed to enhance the character of the surrounding conservation area, replacing industrial sheds with modern work spaces and apartments.  The development is broken down into distinct buildings of differing scales and materials, each responding to its specific setting. The ground floor work [...]

The brief for this project required the optimisation and enhancement of a previously consented design in order to improve the appearance of the elevations and internal arrangement of the apartments. The resulting four-storey building with front and rear balconies provides three 1-bedroom flats and ten 2-bedroom flats together with private amenity space, six car-parking spaces [...]
