We are delighted to have gained planning permission for our second new home on the Isle of Tiree in Scotland. The project is progressing well and we hope to start on site in the early Autumn. You read a bit more about the house on the AJ website here.
Planning Success /
We received planning approval for a large addition to an existing cottage overlooking Loch Earn this week. More to come soon.
ELLE DECORATION /
New Architects 3 from the Architecture Foundation features in this month's Elle Decoration featuring Denizen Works and House No.7.
Planning Permission /
Denizen Works are delighted to have received planning consent for a mixed-use development in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea including a full basement. More details to follow soon.
HADDO YARD - Whitstable /
Haddo Yard in Whitstable has begun on site and looking forward to sharing more photos soon. We're in a bit of a dilemma about the right mortar, but we'll get there.
OLD FRIEND /
An old client emailed us this picture of their (nearly) completed refurbishment and roof extension that we gained planning consent for a few years ago. If you're on City Road have a look out for it. I think it's the only rubber and mesh extension in the neighbourhood. The mesh is mimicking the brick piers rather nicely.
House No.7, Mies and Le Corbusier /
House No. 7 has picked up another gong this week, not for the house itself but in cake form.
Tara Crooke, an architect from Aberdeen baked the cake as part of the Festival of Architecture 2016 for the Great Aberdeen Architectural Bake Off. Seeing off competition from Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, House No.7 came up trumps. This may have been the hand of the baker rather than the architecture, but I won't get to write that sentence again.
Icing must be the sincerest form of flattery.
SUSTAINABILITY AWARD /
We have just been informed that we have won an Argyll and Bute Sustainable Design Award 2015. That's right, 2015. It took the judges a little while to make the decision, but we are delighted.
VALHALLA /
We are delighted that Swain's Lane has been completed and our client's are over the moon with it. Photos to come soon, but you can read more about the project here.
GIA Annual Lecture /
Murray was delighted to give the GIA Annual Lecture in the Reid Lecture Theatre at the Glasgow School of Art last night. Nice to see some friendly faces in the audience.
New Architects 3 /
We are delighted to be included in the Architecture Foundations' new book New Architects 3 showcasing the best talent to have emerged in the UK in the past decade. You can get a copy here.
Evening Standard /
Extension One featured in the Evening Standard Homes and Property Section with our extremely happy clients telling all about the project. Somehow Phil Coffey even manages to get a mention.
HADDO YARD - WHITSTABLE /
We are in the process of developing the designs for Haddo Yard in Whitstable for a start on site in May 2016. This 1:10 Maquette is going to provide a good base for our ongoing brickwork studies.
