Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at Hayhurst & Co.
North Sea East Wood looking splendid in the snow.
As we close the studio until 6th January, we want to thank all the amazing clients and collaborators we have worked with throughout the year. We are looking forward to seeing more project develop and come to fruition in 2025.

We had our Hayhurst & Co Christmas Outing 2024 this week.. 🎉🎉🎉
This year, the London studio travelled to meet the Bristol studio for a collective festive gathering.
We enjoyed a lovely low-carbon Christmas Dinner thanks to @canteenbristol
A visit to Hayhurst & Co’s Bristol Studio for further cheer and a presentation about our successes in 2024 and plans for the year ahead (more about that later… 😉)
A brisk walk up to Clifton and to its almighty brutal Cathedral (designed by Ronald Weeks of the Percy Thomas Partnership, 1973) to admire its spatial and structural gymnastics.
Back down the hill to @haworthtompkins refurbishment of the @oldvictheatre before an evening of merriment kicked off with a boat tour along the river and, of course, finishing off at @designwestuk ‘The Architect’ bar.
Happy Christmas from everyone at Hayhurst & Co.

🔶 Insights from our Autumn Inspirer: Shape My City – Collaborative Workshop #1 Allford Hall Monaghan Morris & Hayhurst and Co

>> Company: Hayhurst & Co
✨ What inspires you?
I am interested in the social value of architecture, seeing the built environment as a means of bringing people together. I enjoy developing designs with natural materials, challenging the use of high embodied carbon where it isn’t necessary.
✨ Which building or place inspires you?
Bristol Old Vic (by Haworth Tompkins). The project is a creative expansion of a historic building to create a more welcoming front of house space for the theatre. The resulting space is lively and bustling with an intriguing structural design.
✨ What’s your favourite project?
Filwood Community Centre, it’s really exciting to be part of the architectural team delivering the refurbishment and extension of the existing community centre. Our design focus is about how the architecture can provide for the community whilst using as many natural materials as we can.
