Georgica Cove
A couple with property on a cove overlooking the ocean asked for a house that would be comfortable for just the two of them the majority of the time. However, with their love of entertaining, the house had to grow on busy weekends to accommodate their children, grandchildren, and guests. To instill the desired sense of comfort and peace, it was also important that the design blend with the pastoral setting and vernacular building traditions: predominantly shingle style homes and barns that are often built and added to over time. Historic precedent studies revealed that referencing New England connected farms in an innovative way could achieve both goals. Connected farms aggregated over time, interconnecting multiple buildings with distinct... More

Five Acre Barn
Aldeburgh is the nearest town to our site, a beautiful place on the Suffolk Coast in the East of England, close to Snape Maltings. We were asked to transform a tired brick barn, which sits in five acres of mixed woodland. Our proposal was for the demolition of an existing 1970’s cottage annexe, replaced by a new building containing five en-suite bedrooms. The roof profile is a very unique undulating form that gives a dynamic shape to the duplex interiors of each room and the entire building is wrapped in cedar shingles Internally, the rooms have generous living, dressing and bathing spaces, with a bedroom accessed from a bespoke staircase. The upgraded 5th bedroom is more generous in scale, with a 6 metre high living space and carefully sel... More

Barangaroo House
Positioned at the southwest extent of the Barangaroo South precinct, Barangaroo House is the outcome of design excellence competition organised by Lendlease and the Barangaroo Delivery Authority, The overarching design strategy was borne of two crucial responses to site and brief: the urban response of a building ‘inthe- round’, and the holistic integration of planting; both edible and ornamental.The curved plan form creates a free-flowing space around the building, encouraging and welcoming movement, while effectively stretching the waterside terraces around the northern and southern faces of the building, A steam-bent charred timber façade gently curves in 3 dimensions, concealing a continuous ring of edible plants and generating a strong...

Shawm House
The project takes a complex site, challenging brief and budget constraints to produce an elegant, crisp and stimulating building. Deemed in open countryside by the local planning authority and in the curtilage of a listed building it was granted planning permission due to an ‘exceptionally high quality of design’. The house consists of a timber frame new build which links to a small existing stone stable block. These elements along with the new timber framed outbuilding are ‘anchored’ to the existing stone wall which acts as a shield to the prevailing winds and an axis between the new builds.The design is contextually driven with a simple barn like form, locally sourced materials and framed views.

Salcedo Social Center
A new social center was required on the heart of Salcedo, a little village close to the city of Pontevedra. The plot, an ancient tip with an adjacent park, is at a lower level than the walls of the cemetery which surround it. On the other side of the road access, located to the west, an industrial structure appears. On this context, we place the new building on the north part of the plot, trying to take advantage of the orientation, making easier the relation with the adjacent little park. In this cluttered and confused environment, we propose a refuge, a wood in small forest cabin, a palisade that filters views but at the same time makes it very open, very permeable to the nearby environment and especially to the square and the adjac...
