We were thrilled to have Faith from St Saviour’s and St Olave’s and Nancy from Charter East Dulwich in the studio last week as part of the RE—SET—GO programme: 2 of the 18 paid work placements for 16-24 year olds from under-represented groups that live in Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark or Wandsworth.

Faith and Nancy helped research and develop design ideas for sustainable green and blue roof strategies for a number of new homes on infil sites around London that we are currently developing designs for. They were researching, sketching, 3D-modelling, sharing and presenting ideas with the team.

RE—SET—GO is led by @we_made_that @if_do and @gortscott. Hayhurst & Co. is one of the employer partners that make up @forum.london, a collective of 21 leading London architectural practices who care about the city, its people and its built environment.

Funding support comes from Stride, who campaign to build networks that inspire imaginations, encourage collaboration and the exchange of knowledge.

Big thank you to Project Architect Tony Berongoy and Claire Taggart for guiding Faith and Nancy through the week.

Today, we are reminiscing about our project for Marble Arch Island after yesterday’s unveiling of @mvrdv proposal of ‘Marble Arch Hill’.

In 2016, we won an invited competition to design a new café, event space and landscaped public realm on the same spot. The competition win involved the planting of the dis-used subterranean walkways and the creation of a new timber boardwalk at grade with two mirror-clad, planted pavilions.

It also included trees raised on mirror clad planters raised off the ground. The aim to was to recreate the Italian sunken gardens that once existed on the west side of Hyde Park and to create an immersive landscape experience that would act as a threshold between the hubbub of Oxford Street and the tranquility of Hyde Park.

In the press: Great to see Grain House on the front page of Italian architecture and design journal ‘Abitare’ this month.

There is an 8-page article inside entitled ‘Welcomed by a privet – love it…
