HAMPSHIRE HOUSE WINS A RIBA REGIONAL AWARD

MAY 2019

We are happy to announce that our project Hampshire House has won a RIBA Regional Award.

The project is a new build house situated in a riverside setting in Hampshire. The client wanted to create a contemporary house with a connection to the surroundings. The house is arranged in a series of staggered volumes, which are conceived of as an entrance to the landscape. The spaces frame the three key views; meadows, lakes and gardens. In the centre is the top lit, double height kitchen, around which daily life revolves. The walls are flint quoined in Purbeck stone and the main frame is precast concrete. Windows and cladding are made from oak which is untreated and will weather to match the colour of the locally sourced stone and flintwork.

JESUS COLLEGE COMPETITION WIN

OCTOBER 2014

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.
