Alternative Histories

ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES

NOVEMBER 2020

Acknowledging that architecture is a corpus of inherited ideas, Alternative Histories invited more than 80 contemporary practices in the UK and Europe to imagine an exchange with architects from the past. Each office was assigned a different drawing from the collection of Drawing Matter. The architects were then tasked with making a model that not only responded to what they saw, but envisioned an alternative future for the original drawing while adhering to the constraints of the project

Our practice was given Basil Spence’s sketch for the enlargement of the Houses of Parliament. To view our response to this project please visit the Drawing Matter website here.

BUSHMILLS DISTILLERY

JANUARY 2017

We are working on a new project for Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim. The proposed buildings include a new café, tasting rooms and a new bonded warehouse. The design for the new buildings is to be situated around a sequence of terraced ponds and waterfalls and frame key historic buildings on the site. A new landscape setting and approach has also been developed for the site.
