“We are pleased that the Inspectorate has granted planning permission on appeal for this important project. We have been working on it since we won a competition in 2021. The Ismaili Trust have an impressive commitment to high quality architecture and landscape design. We look forward to continuing our work with the Trust to create a special place at the heart of the community for many years to come.” – Níall McLaughlin.
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.
