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

Work in Progress: We have started work on the design of a new school in Xi’an, Shaanxi Privence, China. The scheme looks to bring an un-used building back to life: the project comprises the creation of 7 new classrooms, 2 halls and an intensive landscape for children aged 3-6. The scheme includes the re-use of rain water, canopies on the roof to enable play throughout the year and a range of planting strategies on the ground, terraces and roof. #workinginchina #xi’an #chineseschool #schooldesign #architecturaldrawing #sketch
