Two of our projects have made this years RIBA Regional Awards Shortlist. Saltmarsh House on the Isle of Wight, a steel framed pavilion that floats above a meadow of wild grasses. The simple house includes a long living and dining hall framed by three smaller spaces: a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and The WongAvery Gallery, a music practice and performance space for Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
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.
