    Thought for tomorrow: Housing 2044

    There was a time when housing was just that, housing – cottages and country houses, terraces and tower blocks. But things change. For some time housebuilders have been building products, especially in the suburbs. Now almost everything is a product, probably because most is for the market. All new housing is named and branded, but the names and brands are underpinned by more fundamental structural changes in policy and expectation.

    Building on the Built

    On February 6, Simon gave a talk for Building on the Built, a series of public events that aim to promote the topic of architectural work connected with existing structures and, more specifically, to look at work that might challenge the way in which work on existing structures is approached today. Building on the Built aims to focus on work that celebrates an alternative to pure architecture, work that is evolving, mongrel and collaborative with time.

    Kent Design Masterclass

    Opportunities to design new schools are few and the budgets to build them are restricted, but new schools, school buildings and extensions are being built and there is still scope to create exciting environments for learning and buildings that enrich their communities. At this masterclass leading designers will talk about how to commission and design high quality educational buildings even in today’s straightened times.


    In February, Simon will join leading designers for Kent Design Masterclass: School design in the current funding context.

    Kings Crescent wins two AJ Architecture Awards

    Kings Crescent Estate was awarded Housing Project of the Year (over £10 million) and Editor's Choice Award at the AJ Architecture Awards.


    Hattie Hartman of the Architects' Journal writes, "The project was applauded by the AJ Architecture Awards jury for demonstrating an ‘holistic approach that is socially and spatially innovative’. Showing what is possible within a budget, Kings Crescent Estate stands as an exemplar in high density, mid-rise housing. ‘This is housing with character and without compromise. This is what all councils should be aiming for,’ is how the jury summed it up. The scheme sets a laudably high bar for estate regeneration and more widespread adoption of this approach could positively impact London’s housing crisis. "

In 2011, we were awarded “Public Building Architect of the Year” in the BD Architect of the Year Awards.
