Our Quarry House project in Oxfordshire is due to start construction this month. We have been working with the very talented StudioFip to produce a number of renderings of the scheme. Very excited to see this turn into reality....

We recently finished a project in Surrey, which involved building a new residence on the footprint of an old chicken shed. Here are some photographs showing the asymmetrical glulam scissor trusses, and slatted larch cladding.

Super excited that our Thames House is due to start construction next week. The project will provide views to the river (including Tower Bridge) whilst working within the difficult constraints of the site in terms of privacy and overlooking. The form of the house mediates between the adjacent buildings, and also provides a south facing inclined roof on to which solar renewable technologies will be integrated as part of the fibre cement cladding.

Our Scissor Truss Barn has reached practical completion. The asymmetrical scissor trusses were fabricated on site by a very dedicated team of carpenters, who did a great job in recreating our 1:20 model which has been on site from day 01. More photos for follow soon…

Next week, I will be speaking at the WeWork summer camp, discussing key aspects of sustainability in our lives, our workplace and our home. I will be part of a Colloquium with Federico Montella, WeWork’s UK Director of Sustainability, and Morgaine Gaye, journalist, author and futurologist.
