Brick, chic, and two joining basements – Norton Folgate is where #London’s past meets its future ...   At the interface between the East End and the City of London, this beloved but previously neglected neighbourhood has been revived by British Land and turned into dynamic spaces for businesses of all sizes, while staying true to the vibrant #Spitalfields spirit.   We have worked with architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Stanton Williams, DSDHA and Morris+Company to bring a fresh architectural energy to the heart of London and breathe new life into the area.   In order to realise the project team's aim of retaining as much of the existing buildings as possible, we've had to pull several structural bunnies out of the hat.   Watch our film below to find out how we merged yesterday with tomorrow!

New shapes… Hudson Architects are design lead for the next phase of an innovative new community hub project in Kings Lynn. The initiative involves an imaginative retrofit of an existing but disused retail building transforming it into a sustainable, low carbon, public library and neighbourhood focal point located in the heart of King’s Lynn. Taking the constraints of the existing reinforced concrete structure, we undertook a process of balancing demolition with the requirements of a revised form. The new shape of the building works hard to limit embodied carbon, achieve efficient use of new materials, maximise internal daylight through minimal intervention, improve the flow of the local public realm, and reveal lost views of the neighbouring historic artefacts. Funded in part through King’s Lynn Town Deal and spearheaded by Norfolk County Council, this ambitious project is led by Mace Interiors, in collaboration with Turner & Townsend, Hudson Architects, Elliott Wood, and Hoare Lea. #Architecture #Design #Norfolk

One of the most rewarding projects I participated in.

Thembela Architects are pleased to announce that a site has been identified, and permission to occupy and build has been granted, for the long-anticipated Humansdorp Magistrates Offices project. This 5000 m², three-floor facility is now entering its final planning phase. The new facility will be located on a prime site, providing a larger, more efficient space to accommodate all necessary offices, courts and detainment facilities, and will include state-of-the-art security and access control systems. The design will incorporate green initiatives, including water harvesting and PV panels, contributing to sustainability. The building will feature public areas that have been designed with people in mind, such as a double-volume atrium, with a focus on creating a justice-focussed and supportive environment for victims and families. #Thembela #ThembelaArchitects #Architects #DesignThatMatters #Architecture #HumansdorpMagistratesOffices #PublicBuildingDesign

It's great to see this article about the approval of our plans for Derby's Friar Gate Goods Yard in Architects’ Journal. Adam McPartland, Director of Glancy Nicholls Architects, said: “We are overjoyed that the required funds can now be invested into saving these distressed 150-year-old listed buildings. Glancy Nicholls Architects has proudly brought its expertise in restoration and retrofit design to visualise the sustainable future of two of Derby city centre’s most notable historic structures.   “From the outset, the overarching brief from Wavensmere Homes was for a huge emphasis to be placed on exemplary placemaking. By having a mix of commercial uses within the two buildings – and opening the inaccessible site up to create a series of new linear parks – hundreds of people will be able to appreciate these heritage assets on a daily basis.   “The designs for the 227 two- and three-bedroom townhouses that will surround the two listed buildings are bespoke. Curved and terraced street scenes will celebrate the beauty and vista of the Bonded Warehouse, while incorporating a range of energy saving technologies and strategies. "A four-storey apartment building containing 49 apartments will also reinstate the lost streetscape of the Stafford Street frontage. The highest EPC rating of A is being targeted for the new houses, with all plots designed to be future-proofed ahead of the 2025 Future Homes Standard.” Read Anna Highfield's article here: https://lnkd.in/e4FRthwd

How does one take the current temperature of residential architecture in America—the identification of its fashions, its experimental developments and, moreover, the individuals who are its trailblazers in every state in the nation? It’s a question that demands other questions, including: At that local level, what are the primary market challenges…and opportunities? And in the wake of the devastation that Americans have experienced under their own roofs in 2024 from the new extreme-weather reality, what role should America’s architects, the nation’s building-design experts, be playing in the recovery-and-rebuild efforts of these tragedies? In the last decade, the function of the architect in society has been transformed; and today, as consumers navigate climate challenges and the demands they’re placing on our houses, it’s incumbent upon us to reach a more thorough understanding of what’s so often missing in their design and construction—and the extent to which good architects can improve them and, in turn, our lives.
