We are delighted to have made the short-list for Don't Move, Improve 2017. We won an award last year, so have our fingers crossed that we can pick up a prize again this year for Valhalla.
Hackney Housing /
Denizen Works have been short-listed to develop a concept scheme for 16 new dwellings in East London for Hackney Council. We hope to bring more news on this exciting development soon.
PLANNING APPROVAL /
Denizen Works are delighted to have received planning approval and listed building consent for a major addition to a pair of listed cottages in Shoreham, Kent. We are looking forward to developing the detailed design and getting the project to site in the coming months.
Valhalla /
Valhalla has been in the press again, this time in the Ham & High. It is a great article and you can read it here.
Homerton College /
Denizen Works are delighted to have made it on to the long-list for a new dining hall at Homerton College in Cambridge. There were over 150 entrants to the competition and the list of 24 architects for the next stage is strong. You can read a bit more about the Malcolm Reading organised competition here.

Another Planning Success /
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.
