Open House in action – again! Great to see so many people at Garden House today visiting the house and @whitakermalem exhibition of current work. Thankfully fewer people visited this year than last (approx 900 visitors compared to over 1,600 last year) which meant a little more time to talk to people! #gardenhouse #whitakermalem #hayhurstandco #openhouse #openhoue2019 #hackney #londonarchitecture #architecture

Open House in action…! It was great to see so many excited teachers, parents and pupils, inquisitive residents and enquiring architects and students keeping us on our toes at our STEAM lab at Torriano Primary School this afternoon.

On site: this week the profiled, perforated cladding is starting to go up at Edith Neville Primary School. The sense of translucency and openness varies as you move round and as sun hits it at different angles. The design of the school’s boundary treatment was the subject of last week’s talk at the NLA entitled ‘Reimagining Somers Town’. Looking forward to the rest of the cladding going up and the trees in the foreground being planted and school life behind animating the street. #edithnevilleprimaryschool #hayhurstandco #schooldesign #londonarchitecture #cladding #architecture

We are working in the 19th Century today… the setting of Hayhurst and Co’s Spitalfield office has been turned into a set for new #sherlockholmes #film

Event: This morning Nick was talking at the @nlalondon and discussing how our design for a new primary school can enhance the quality of public open space. #nlalondon #edithnevilleprimaryschool #hayhurstandco

Talk: Nick will be talking as part of the @nlalondon Breakfast Talk ‘Reimagining Central Somers Town’ tomorrow morning at 8.30am. In this talk, LB Camden, @dsdha_architecture and the four collaborating practices; @adamkhanarch @hayhurstandco @drmmarchitects and @moco_arch will present and discuss their dynamic approach to masterplanning/designing a new urban framework, using landscape and public realm as the primary drivers. The site comprises a new primary school, community facilities, a residential tower, affordable homes and commercial ground floor units all focused around a new public park providing improved connectivity. Tickets are available for free from NLA website. #centralsomerstown #camden #nla #talk #masterplanning #urbandesign #publicrealm #event

Housing Portfolio: in 2015, we designed a number of new, low-rise homes on an under site in Mansfield Road in Camden. Our design proposed the re-use of garages as meanwhile spaces alongside new accessible housing formed in clusters around communal courtyards. #hayhurstandco #housing #londonhousing

Housing Portfolio: Forming part of Camden Council’s regeneration scheme of Central Somers Town, we designed three, four-storey, town-houses that ended a Grade-II listed Georgian terrace. Our design included a rigorous analysis of the elevational features and proportions of the adjacent existing terrace in order to inform how a new end of terrace could be interpreted. Planning consent was granted in 2017. #regeneration #housing #londonarchitecture #newhomes #hayhurstandco

Housing Portfolio: As we embark on a number of new housing projects for Brick by Brick we are showcasing some of our recent multi-unit residential schemes. Pictured today is an image of our estate intensification project for Barrington Court in Gospel Oak. We designed three new homes on awkward, triangular sites at the end of each of the Powell and Moya designed terraces. Planning consent awarded in 2016. #estateintensification #housing #londonarchitecture #newhomes

From the archive: Must be a nice day to be in the Reception stage play area at Hayes Primary School in Croydon today. Completed in 2012, the project includes a blackboard wall, a sitting niche, sandpit and shallow paddling pool in a space that runs directly from the internal teaching spaces. The project won an RIBA National Award and the NLA Best Education Building Award in 2013. #tbf #schooldesign #hayhurstandco #londonarchitecture #architecture #outdoorlearning

On site: The internal works are progressing at our new-build Edith Neville Primary School in Somers Town, Camden. The linings and glazing are in and the protection being gradually removed. The awesome sense of light and long views over into the trees in the adjacent park are slowly emerging. #edithnevilleprimaryschool #hayhurstandco #camden #camdenschools #londonarchitecture #schooldesign

Portfolio: In 2015, we gained planning consent and Listed Building consent for a Category B-listed conversion of a farmstead in Burwick on South Ronaldsey on the Orkney Islands. The project included for a new restaurant in the barn, tweed-weaving on the bothy, a gin distillery in piggery and a home for the new owners. The new home includes a contemporary extension that continues and inverts the existing roof profile to create large windows with expansive views of the prevailing landscape. #orkney #architecture #farmstead #hayhurstandco #houseextension

Portfolio: New Homes for Neighbourhoods, Brighton: Our shortlisted competition proposal for 5 new homes creates a ‘convivial community’ – one that is organised around a series of ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ shared community spaces for residents to share and enjoy. Using the language of Brighton’s indigenous sub-strata, the design of the houses is conceived as a series of irregularly-shaped ‘Chalk Hats’ that sit sculpturally on the site. #brighton #brightonandhovecitycouncil #newhomes #newhomesforneighbourhoods #chalkhats #affordablehousing #community #infill #housing #hayhurstandco #architecture #competition

Hairy House: Named because of the wildflower turf roof, Hairy House is an extension to a Victorian end of terrace house in Hammersmith that provides a new kitchen, dining area and family space. #oldiebutagoodie #tbt #hayhurstandco #hairyhouse #ribanationalaward #greenroof #wildflowerroof #slate photo: @kilianosullivan

Portfolio: The remodelling and expansion of Pegasus Academy builds on the character of the existing Victorian school buildings. Our design brings together a fragmented site with a series of interventions and extensions that thread new teaching spaces through a complex fabric of existing buildings. #pegasusacademytrust #civictrustawards2015 #ribaawards2014 #ajretrofitawardswinner #fbf #hayhurstandco #archive

Portfolio: Our competition entry for Langley Vale Visitor Hub. Within its ancient, down-land setting, the proposal provides a new visitor’s hub as part of a ‘convivial landscape’ that provides activity spaces for the local community, enthusiasts and children to share and enjoy. The building is organised as three distinct elements each forming a specific function: the hall, the entrance and the support spaces. Each element has its own thatched roof profile which is similar in scale to the canopy of the adjacent trees. #langleyvale #riba @ribacomps #competition #hayhurstandco #thatch

Work in progress: A house in Hackney. A new fair-faced concrete and planting arrangement to form a garden-like extension to a large Victorian house with a south facing garden. #plantsofinstagram #hayhurstandco #houseinhackney #WIP

Pegasus Academy: The first phase of Pegasus Academy involved the construction of a new Nursery classroom, reception classroom and the refurbishment of two existing classrooms which were connected via a new ‘Reception Street’ – a space which connects all the teaching bases providing spill-out spaces for role-play, reading corners, art spaces, home corners etc! All of the spaces open up to a new external play area where the stripy green carpets extend outside in stripy green rubbercrumb to give the sense of a freshly-mown lawn running inside to out. The project won a number of awards including an Architectural Review Schools Award, RIBA award, and AJ Retrofit Award. #tbt #pegasusacademy #hayhurstandco #croydon photo: @anthony_coleman_photo
