Marsh View Burnham Norton, Norfolk Client: Private Scope: Full architectural service Type: Residential Area: Norfolk Status: Built

This holiday house was built for an artist in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ in North Norfolk, and then was extended five years later for its new owners. Marsh View has been published all over the world and established our reputation as designers able to make modern architecture in sensitive contexts. The 7.5m tall living space is constructed from structural birch plywood that is exposed internally. The house appears strangely familiar, both modern and vernacular. We modified and extended the house for its new owners five years later, adding a studio and car port and completing the garden.

A listed cottage and its small barn have been refurbished at Thursford in north Norfolk, 3 miles from Walsingham and 15 minutes drive from Holkham or Wells beaches. A long wall extends from Thursford Village Green up Clarks Lane, becoming variously the old school, the barn, a garden wall, and then the Dutch gable of the cottage, before finally becoming hedges bounding fields. The cottage was built around 1750, and is listed; the barn is slightly older and isn’t listed. The barn is available for holiday lets with The Modern House and Airbnb.

Top: sketch of pool Top Right: photograph of interior Far Right: collage of west facade Right: photograph of model Bottom: collage of west facade

A house and studio for a landscape architect, on a brownfield site near the village of Horsemonden in Kent. The site was previoulsy occupied by a dwelling and sometime pub, called ‘The Cockhouse’. It appears now as a ‘clearing in a forest’, defined by a line of tall Scots Pines, which set up the vertical and horizontal characteristics of the new house. A series of territories are defined by the building that situate various activities in relation to seasonal and daily rhythms. Chimneys and courtyards define the various uses on the site, including an area to work outside, and a swimming pool; oriented to capture morning and evening sunlight respectively. The new house will be made of engineered timber, clad in locally made red bricks, and will have a copper roof.

Gravel Hill Burnham Overy Town, Norfolk

We remodelled this small holiday house adding new oak framed windows and a new kitchen. Our clients were both academic art historians, and the house is used by them and their friends as a place to think and write.

This small house for a folk music journalist and a carpenter sits in a Conservation Area in Hackney, and is a modern version of its late Georgian neighbours. The clients wanted the green oak frame structure to be exposed internally. Internal walls are made of white glass and plaster. The house is clad in vertical oak boards. It has won many awards and has been published all over the world, as well as in several books about contemporary domestic architecture.

Madder Gallery & Apartment Whitecross Street, EC1

Client: Private Client & Islington Borough Council Scope: Full architectural service Type: Culture & Residential Area: London EC1 Status: Built

The new art gallery on Whitecross Street is a conversion of two adjacent Georgian terraces with shop fronts, connected by a double-height basement gallery and rear courtyard. The new facade received a Heritage and Economic Regeneration Scheme Grant from English Heritage administered by Islington Council. It offers a varied and versatile space for exhibiting and the shop front opens-up to allow private view parties to inhabit the street. The gallerist’s apartment above has a first floor private external courtyard. It is contained within the section of the top-lit gallery space below.

Hatton Place Warehouse Conversion, EC1

This scheme was an intervention in a warehouse building on a street which was historically composed of bullion workshops for jewellers located behind the main jewellery street in the city of London. Our work consists of a new ground floor façade and a roof terrace. In the evening and at weekends, when the street is deserted, the street becomes a room.

This building is part of a scheme that replaces an existing slab-like office building on Victoria Street in central London with two new buildings that incorporate a mix of office, retail and residential accommodation. Kings Gate (G+14 storeys) will be exclusively residential from second floor upwards. The100 apartments are made up of studios, one, two, three and four bedrooms. The exterior will be made of Jura limestone and bronze coloured metals. Its south façade incorporates long terraces, and the stone piers protect the interiors from overheating and the inhabitants’ privacy, presenting an orderly and dignified face towards Victoria Street. To date (July 2014), 88 of the apartments have been sold.

Mercer’s Yard connects Tufnell Park Road and Holloway Road via a series of courtyards around which are composed new and refurbished workshops and small shops at ground floor and 80 apartments above. This site is also the home of the National Youth Theatre. We are providing new accommodation to give them stronger visibility and accessibility to the public. We see the new buildings as versions of Victorian Warehouses and Palazzo types that currently exist there, and have created an architectural character for a deep city building that can mediate between ‘high street’ and the domestic hinterland of the site. A new ‘Social Needs Rented’ affordable housing block forms the northern edge with a 1950s council estate.

Crickelwood Housing London, NW2 Client: Scope: Type: Status:

Mulitiplex, Brookfields Europe and Hammersons Lead Design Architectural Services Residential Planning Consent granted

Our site sits behind a mature hawthorn hedge in between a very successful 1930s council estate and a row of Victorian Railway workers’ cottages, accomodating 38 family houses as part of the regeneration of the Brent Cross Shopping Centre. A simple house type made up of familar brick elements creates a sense of unity with a degree of variety and irregularity introduced at the edges. Low garden walls and porches create the public face of the development, whilst the rear facades are more various, reflecting the mix of 2-3 or 3-4 bedroom accommodation arranged on the site. Planning Consent was granted in 2008 and renewed in 2012 and the initial phases of work include large infrastructural changes. Our client is a consortium that included Mulitiplex, Brookfields Europe and Hammersons.
