The Guardian has written a piece about CHALKUP21, a 21st-century architectural coastal trail along the Strait of Dover. The trail has been created to raise awareness and appreciation of recent coastal architecture. Along the trail you can see The Wing at Capel Le Ferne (2015), the Samphire Hoe Education shelter(2014) and on the Dover Esplanade, Tonkin Liu’s Three Waves (2009), the Dover Sea Sports centre (2010) and Alma Tischler Wood’s North Downs Way START/FINISH line (2010); the National Trust Visitor Centre (1999), the Pines Calyx (2006) at St Margaret’s Bay and our Deal Pier Café.

ST CROSS GROUND BREAKING
FEBRUARY 2015
Building has started on our project for St. Cross College in Oxford. It will accommodate a library, seminar rooms and 53 post-graduate rooms just behind St. Giles. Soon after excavation started, we uncovered the shrouded remains of a woman buried in 1642 during the English Civil War. Oxford Archaeologists dated her from the coins that had been placed on her eyes. After a pause to remove the remains, the builders have started foundations around the historic walls. Completion is expected by May 2016.
A Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on the site on 27th February. Practical Completion of the building is anticipated in May 2016. You can follow progress on site by accessing the contractor’s webcam here (un:stcrosscollege; pw:oxford)
