#ONSITE at Dulwich Picture Gallery Construction is underway for a new children’s picture gallery, creating a dedicated space for art-based creative play, set within the gallery’s evolving gardens. Designed in collaboration with Structure Workshop Ltd, the reciprocal frame structure will be constructed in UK grown Douglas Fir, fabricated by Timber Workshop and sourced by East Bros Timber Ltd from the South West of England. The timber frame is currently being fabricated offsite at Timber Workshop ready to be installed in the next couple of months.

Our Windermere Jetty Museum model is currently on display at RIBA as part of the Difficult Sites exhibition. Showing until Spring 2025, the exhibition celebrates architectural achievement in the face of tricky terrain, awkward urban plots and challenging remodels. The exhibition is showing in the RIBA Architecture Gallery, a space designed by Carmody Groarke in 2015. https://lnkd.in/e-tf55_R

The Gent Waste Brick has received two Henry van de Velde Awards in the Design Research and Environment categories. The Belgium-based awards showcase designers, products and projects that have a positive impact on society, the environment and the economy. Designed in collaboration with Sogent, Design Museum Gent, BC materials and Local Works Studio Limited, the bricks have been produced and the first set laid for the façade of the new wing of the Design Museum Gent, currently under construction. Using local-waste streams, the bricks are pressed rather than fired and use one third the Co2 of a traditional brick. The double win recognises the collective achievement of the design and development team to create a low-carbon alternative to clay fired bricks. Voting is now open for the gold and public awards.
