Helen and Adam’s research considers some of Europe's more arcane architectural figures, thereby revealing a series of alternative modernisms concerned with the contemporary architect’s position in a cultural continuum. ‘The Stones of Fernand Pouillon’ presents the work of the prolific French architect and will be the subject of the evening’s talk by Helen. Adam will give a brief overview of the series, including their upcoming publication on Hopkins.

We are thrilled that De Beauvoir Block won Office of the Year (2,000–5,000m²) at the AJ Retrofit Awards 2018.

Jury comment: An imaginative reworking of existing buildings with a sophisticated layering of new additions which resolve circulation and enhance daylight penetration. There is much sensitive use of materials and careful consideration of environmental impacts.

Designs by Simon Henley and Gavin Hale-Brown are inspired by the dominant social structures of the location as well as its cultural and architectural characteristics. This volume presents a number of buildings that are often inserted into the dense urban texture of London with a self-assertive, poetic expression.

Presentations will be followed by a discussion and the opportunity for questions from the floor. The event aims to provide a forum for a discipline specific conversation between practitioners, academics, theorists and writers.

We are very pleased to announce that three of our schemes have been shortlisted for the RIBA London Awards: Chadwick Hall for the University of Roehampton, De Beauvoir Block for The Benyon Estate and Kings Crescent Estate for the London Borough of Hackney in collaboration with Karakusevic Carson Architects and Muf Architecture/Art.

Delighted with the positive feedback we had from residents who spoke on the BBC Today programme about living at the Kings Crescent Estate in Hackney. As suggested in their comments, the affordable homes we have designed have exceeded expectations and enabled homeownership for many who have struggled to get on the housing ladder. As one resident said, "We absolutely love it, so we feel really lucky. We are still pinching ourselves…”.

We are delighted to have been shortlisted for BD Housing Architect of The Year this week. Among other things, the judges were looking for “evidence of all-round design excellence and fitness for purpose over a body of work”. In 2011, we were awarded “Public Building Architect of the Year” in the BD Architect of the Year Awards. 

This week we also received an important recognition for our Chadwick Hall student housing at the University of Roehampton. It was selected as one of six projects in the Wandsworth Design Awards and will be presented with the Mayors Design Award. Judges were impressed with its contemporary design to provide student accommodation on a challenging site within the grounds of grade II* listed Downshire House (1770).
