The scheme is for a new 23,000 sqm lab-enabled workspace on the site of the old St Pancras Hospital in Kings Cross. The design retains the existing water tower and chimney stack on the site as both historic reference and navigation tools. The mass of the building has been broken into 3 parts and stepped down toward the residential development and St. Pancras Gardens to the south. The proposed plan, including the double atrium provision, ensures double-sided natural lighting and ventilation throughout the building. The structure is hybrid consisting of a composite CLT floor slab, concrete/stone or raised service floors, an LVL/glulam column and beam, with a precast concrete, insulated sandwich, structural exoskeleton and cylindrical cores made from lean, green concrete.

New mini-campus for the engineering departments at Qatar University, Doha. The design creates finger-like buildings housing six departments, each with a top-lit internal "street" forming a hive of department activity. Buildings and nodes have distinct entrances and identities to assist way-finding. Connecting all are a variety of common hubs, courtyards, and a larger scale "seed pod" of common facilities shared between departments.

This topographic design connects a multi-age play space with its surrounding landscape. A dynamic central spine element performs multiple functions: houses play functions along its length; links park and play space levels; mixes equipment for different age groups; provides shelter and enclosure; organises and centralises circulation; and provides access to high level play equipment. Ubiquitous perimeter security fencing is replaced with careful use of the existing topography to connect the play space with its surrounding landscape.

Urban Splash [ 0620 ]

Multi-site study and proposals, including major alteration of existing Halls of Residence and Victorian estate houses, and a new events building set in woodlands.

Guy Chester Centre [ 0727 ]

This Grade-II listed station office was disused and in poor repair. A dynamic design utilised an existing sub-floor void and added a mezzanine and glazed entrance to reorder circulation and open up the buildings spaces. A blend of sympathetic restoration and exciting contemporary architectural detail transformed the building into a modern desirable office space.

Extension of Reigate’s former registry building to form new office headquarters for a private company. The new work takes the form of a three storey free-standing extension building, set off from the existing Victorian building. A large wing-like element entirely wraps one long elevation and the roof, shielding the interior from the southern sun and unifying a striking three storey high circulation zone within.

This scheme seeks to intensify use of existing allotments, provide a public education resource, and establish links between important local landmarks. A small market pavilion is created in a neglected corner of the Fuel Lands allotment perimeter to Coldfall Wood. The pavilion provides a grower's market and an education facility A new path picks it’s way through the trees from the pavilion down to the playing fields. A day out is now possible: market visit, walk in the woods, playing on the fields. The café and toilets support these visits, especially for families. The pavilion is constructed of certified sustainable timber, and finished with a clear polycarbonate roof and a permeable paved floor surface.

New mixed-use building in Baghdad’s historic district, accommodating a new boutique hotel, functions and events facilities, and restaurant and bars.

Al-Khan [ 1110 ]

New multi-storey 300 room, five-star hotel with mixed leisure and retail uses. The hotel is conceived as an articulated wall building which protects a hidden landscape courtyard in the enfolded arm of it's "L" plan. Large lower level storeys house a mixed use of retail, leisure, restaurants, and hotel facilities. Common spaces and circulation is focused at the 'hinge' at upper levels, and individual room entrances are stepped for privacy. Elevations are populated with large-scale lined window frames expressing the individual rooms within; multi-level shaded glazing forms plinth edges below.

Sunshine Engineering & Construction [ 1007 ]

Part of the Holy city masterplan. The Library and Religious School buildings are paired inside a large architectural decorative screen. Movement through the screen and building portals and interstitial spaces is rich with spatial complexity and interplay of natural daylighting. Separate reading rooms for men and women crown the Library building in the intense booklined reading rooms on the top storeys. In relative contrast, the Religious School building has layers of formal teaching rooms at entry level, but which breaks into an informal assembly of rooms and elevated small courtyards higher up where the residential community of scholars live.

Baghdad Mayoralty [ 0905 ]

This family home measures 320 sqm and is located west of central Brisbane in the foothills of Mount Coot-tha. The house is distinguished by its monolithic blind brick facade which has a fleshy softness and a reassuring sense of permanence.

An excess of mortar spills from the horizontal joints in the pale linear brick, adding texture and movement through shadow-play as the sun tracks the protective south and west facades, and the horizontal emphasis throughout the building helps bed the house into the landscape. Concentric steps in the brickwork frame the entry door which leads up to a generous staircase taking you to the first floor open plan living space and terrace in this upside-down house. In contrast to the south and west facades the remainder of the house features openable glazing that allow expansive views of Brisbane City. Unlike many light-weight Australian houses the weight of the brickwork and concrete superstructure allow the house to cool via thermal mass.

This is a scheme for a sequence of four townhouses in Greenwich. The houses form a small family of buildings tucked away in the middle of a leafy urban block. The bases of the houses are expressed as heavy masonry plinth, which also “unwinds” to create garden walls. The bedrooms with intimate private terraces appear as dark timber roof forms above.

The overall accommodation program is broken down and expressed as individual buildings addressing the two street frontages of St John’s Grove and Brookside Road. To Brookside Road, four 1-bed apartments are placed whose ground floor mass continues to St John’s Grove to create a plinth which contains two 2-bed apartments with gardens front and back. Across the plinth then stand two 2-bed maisonettes articulated as individual architectural forms facing St John’s Grove.

Peabody Housing Association [ 1311 ]

£5M major alteration and extension of mansion house with diplomatic functions. In the major refurbishment and fitout of the grade II listed mansion house, the scheme pursues the dual approach of careful restoration of the original listed building and the insertion of room-like contemporary elements manufactured off site and placed in the floor plan like pieces of furniture. The scheme also includes a large underground new-build leisure facility and dining hall. The 500 sqm extension to the rear of the property accommodates major new spaces including a large ceremonial dining hall, swimming pool, and related leisure facilities. The other-worldliness of the underground extension is exploited architecturally, with major rooms/halls reading as separate buildings set within an abstracted water landscape. A fully landscaped garden is reinstated over the extension.

£5M new-build social and supported housing scheme in Islington. Project included: site reconfiguration; funding preparation; repeated scenario testing for planning, environmental, and community issues; reconciliation of neighbouring uses. Breeam ‘Excellent’, Code 4.

Islington & Shoreditch Housing Association, West London Mission [ 0710 ]

Development site study and scenario testing for new multi-residential development. The schemes address difficult geometry and access yet enhance the secluded setting. Originally a goods yard and lay-by adjacent to an active railway station, the triangular site is here transformed to accommodate nine one-bedroom units each with private external space. The challenge of the site shape and the architectural design of the units (together with its solutions to acoustic, access, and overlooking issues) creates a unique development.

Westgreen Construction Ltd [ 0420 ]

A mixed use, full-block multi-residential scheme for Workspace on the Parmiter Industrial Estate. The building has small commercial at ground floor and residential to upper floors on an inner-city London site. A new ground plane of amenity space for residents is formed over the commercial parking in the central block area. Units are clustered in groups around cores and provided with generous private outdoor space.

New family house in Brisbane, Australia. The scheme leads with a large folded exterior screen which works to encircle and protect the spaces from the subtropical sun and provide privacy. A rich spatial environment results inside, with internal and external rooms intermingling and sharing material and atmospheric qualities. Shaded outdoor space is provided at multiple levels including a ‘crows nest’ at the top for views, special meals, and occasional sleeping in the summer.

Reorganisation of the existing plan layout and creation of a new landscape building radically transforms this end-of-terrace house. An excavated polished concrete slab increases heights and transforms proportions. Carefully detailed glazing maintains the distinction between the new grass-roofed pavilion and the original brick house.

The capability of materials to form space sometimes outstrip their social use. In this house, the original 60’s free-spanning structure had been buried in a cellular Victorian plan, reflecting suburban domestic values of the day. This project therefore radically opens the spaces, matching the promise of the original structure, and synchronising the use with today’s living practices. The scheme includes a striking suspended system of joinery which branches off the original structure.

Extending this large house in South London relies on an ambiguity in the new work as a house extension or as a detached garden entity. The glazed 'pavilion' with its planted roof cuts into and extends the existing kitchen, connecting it to the landscape beyond Previously lost, the original rear façade with its bay window is returned to the garden elevation. Internally, services and clutter are absorbed by two dynamic walls, leaving a floating oak bench and seat to lead the composition.

Alteration and refurbishment of an existing children's home into a large mansion house in Guildford. Existing major rooms are retained and restored with new elements strategically introduced to complement the house’s stature and excellent siting. Circulation and secondary spaces are completely reconfigured and rebuilt adding a new ease and lightness to the house. A new swimming pool and leisure facilities are discretely created in the basement, benefiting from new light-wells and landscaping at ground level.

Designed as shared accommodation for art students, this building is arranged as a series of introverted sleeping chambers accessed from large open verandas and common facilities. The design concentrates on questions of climate, topography, and material detailing in a way redolent of some Asian architectures. The fabric draws on a small palette of durable self finishing materials such as copper, fibre cement, and red ironbark. Normally manufactured items were all hand made on site.
