An article on dementia has been written by Sarah Wilson for the City Metric Online. The piece looks at how innovative home design could revolutionise dementia care and even slow down symptoms. It draws on our projects Losing Myself created for the Venice Biennale 2016 and the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin on approaching dementia friendly design.
The practice is delighted to have won the competition for a new development within Jesus College, Cambridge. The practice secured the appointment from among a strong short-list that that included Wright & Wright, Haworth Tompkins and Cullinan Studio.
The project forms the first part of a three-phase development, to create a new outward-facing research centre for the College that includes a communications facility and 150-seater auditorium. The scheme involves the reordering and renovation of the site’s existing buildings and incorporates the western half of the historic Wesley House.
Work is due to start on site early next year.
