We are thrilled that our STEM Activity Lab at Torriano Primary School is one of 12 projects that have been shortlisted for the @ribajournal MacEwen Award. Less aesthetics, more ethics, the award recognises ‘architecture for the common good’. The winner will be announced soon. #macewenaward #ribajournal #torrianoprimaryschool #stemlab #learningspace #schooldesign
Work in progress: Yesterday we presented the residential projects we are working on for @brickbybrickldn in the form of a 3 minute petcha kucha. Great to share challenges and opportunities of working in small sites with the other excellent architect teams.

2020 Projects: Starting on site this year is our remodelling and extension of a rural bungalow. Our design comprises a series of contemporary, site-specific domestic interventions formed around an over-sized flint chimney. #norfolk #hayhurstandco #flint #house
2020 Projects: We are excited to be finalising the design for a pair of homes on a back-land site in Croydon, London. The green glazed ceramic tiled roof is intended to enhance the woodland character of site, nestled amongst mature trees. The project is due to start on site in spring. #newproject #projectsfor2020 #comingsoon…
2020 Projects: This week we are showcasing projects we are excited to be working on in 2020. We are currently developing ideas for a new library, community centre and nursery alongside improved public spaces and new housing for a local authority in south london. The WIP image is testing the relationship between the public open space and proposed buildings. #newproject #mixeduse #architectsimages #projectsfor2020

Work in progress: We are currently developing detailed designs for a new family home in Haringey, London that draws on the green, heavily-wooded backland character of the site. The new home incorporates a double height living space and a planted front elevation – a contemporary re-interpretation of the Victorian greenhouses that once filled the neighbouring plot. The home will be constructed using sustainable and recyclable materials and includes renewable energy sources. Construction is due to start in Spring 2020. #newhome #haringey #greenhouse #hayhurstandco #houseplants #familyhome #londonarchitecture #architecture #CLT #CLThouse
Opening! Great to see the photos of the official opening of the Clore Learning Centre at the RIBA that was held earlier this month.

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

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.

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
