Earlier this week we had our Christmas away day – it was community focussed encompassing a number of recently-completed projects in north-east London.

We started at the NLA-award winning Angel’s Yard in Tottenham designed by @jankatteinarch and run by @launchit_uk . We had an amazing tour by Cliff Dobbs the centre’s manager (thank you Cliff!) talking enabling start-ups, viability and discussing an architecture of economy of means.

Following a hearty brunch, we went ont to Fore Street Living Room Library – also by @jankatteinarch . We were intrigued by the adaptability of the reading spaces as performance spaces and the breadth of activities the library enables.

Next up was @aocarchitecture -designed refurbishment and re-imagining of the Museum of Childhood to become the @young.vam . Lots of chats about the seamless integration of design, graphics and curatorial content and what makes spaces intriguing and curious, (as well as the amazing content!)

We finished up at Lea Bridge Library by @studioweave with timber work by @sebastiancoxltd discussing timber detailing, curved glass and architect/ maker collaborations (we also worked with @sebastiancoxltd on Grain House).

And then onto drinks and dinner (and more drinks, of course) in Walthamstow.

Happy Christmas from everyone at Hayhurst & Co.

We are over the moon that Green House in Tottenham by Hayhurst & Co, has won RIBA House of the Year 2023. The prestigious award given annually to the UK’s best new architect-designed home.

Green House is a fun-filled, super-eco, pretty-pop home on a low budget. The RIBA Awards judges said it is ‘an extraordinary ordinary house’.

The jury chair, Dido Milne, said: ‘Green House, affectionately known as the “Tottenham Riad”, is a true oasis within the city. It is both airy and cosy, bold yet respectful of its neighbours. Your eye is simultaneously drawn upwards to open sky and down and out across the living room to verdant greenery.

‘The close architect and client relationship, with a joint desire to deliver a truly sustainable home, is evident in all of the design decisions and detailing. On a confined urban site, the house was delivered to a tight budget with an economy of means – and it remains richer for it. ’

Milne added: ‘Nowhere do you feel the site or budget was restricted. It feels both luxurious, homely, deeply private and relaxing. It’s an extraordinary ordinary house and a remarkable collaboration.’

The project would not have been possible without our amazing clients – Amandine and Tom van Schelven, the fantastic contractor – Rebuild London and the brilliant consultant team including Eurban, Iain Wright Associates (Andrew Lucas) and Mesh Energy who worked relentlessly along our team at Hayhurst & Co.; Claire Taggart (Project Architect), Holly Crosbie, Jonathan Nicholls and Nick Hayhurst. Planting by Ollie Allum.
