Work in progress: a new double-height entrance carved out of an existing school building in north London. The project will create a new community facility and early-years centre with new shared landscaped spaces.

On site: ‘Green House’ was looking mighty fine on site this week…
The atrium in the centre of the house is looking pretty sharp: the balustrades and staircase are in and we’re looking forward to the CLT doors going in the gaps…

On site: flinty fresh on a sunny Sunday in north Norfolk.
Most the scaffold was struck this week revealing the flint work in all its glory. In the morning sun you can see it’s texture and the micro-shadows on each flint.
Looking forward to the rest of the progress on the project.

Landscape dialogues: with a number of new commissions in the studio, we have been thinking a lot about how we make material and tectonic interventions in landscape spaces this week.
How we layer landscape and how we layer our interventions within it. How we synthesise these conditions rather than having one dominate the other. How do our designs reveal the dialogue between the man-made and the natural and how does it play out in terms of hierarchy, texture and tone.
Looking forward to sharing our work in progress soon.

No cigar: Hayhurst & Co. were really pleased to have been invitied by @studio.aki to collaborate in an invited RIBA competition for a series of public realm upgrades across east London’s iconic Becontree Estate.
Our entry looked at working with local residents to turn under-used corners of the estate into bio-diverse and active green spaces.
We didn’t make it this time but well done to @nimtimarchitects for winning the competition. Looks great…!
