RIBA NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS
JULY 2019
Our two projects, LAMDA and Hampshire House, have both been awarded RIBA National Awards.
The judges commented on Hampshire House “With a dignity and unmatched considered simplicity, this home is a strong reflection of the immediate landscape and a distinguished architectural achievement”. The judges commented on LAMDA “In contrast with his own Oxbridge work, Níall McLaughlin at LAMDA shows he can do gritty, hard-edged form, this project’s performance spaces being carved from a tough urban site.”
JESUS COLLEGE PLANNING APPROVAL
APRIL 2015
We have won planning and listed building consent for the first phase of a significant development for Jesus College, Cambridge.
The West Court development includes the sensitive refurbishment and extension of a Grade II Listed building to provide research facilities, offices, social spaces and accommodation. A new café pavilion and basement bar extends the building’s north elevation and provides a prominent link to the rest of the College.
A 1970s building closes the courtyard to Jesus Lane and will be refaced, refurbished and converted to provide a lecture theatre with research facilities and two floors of academic accommodation. Linking the two existing buildings, a new entrance building houses conference facilities and serves the lecture theatre, research spaces and an exhibition room. It will provide access to future phases of the development including a new purpose-built auditorium, formal courtyard and nursery along with storage, archive and sports facilities.
The Master of Jesus College, Professor Ian White, said “We are excited by the opportunity the West Court development brings to take the facilities we can offer to students, alumni and the wider world to a new level of excellence.”
