The practice is delighted that Saltmarsh House has won an RIBA National Award. The judges described the building as achieving "pocket-watch levels of precision and attention to detail alongside Passivhaus standards of environmental performance to create a building that is truly breathtaking."
Acknowledging that architecture is a corpus of inherited ideas, Alternative Histories invited more than 80 contemporary practices in the UK and Europe to imagine an exchange with architects from the past. Each office was assigned a different drawing from the collection of Drawing Matter. The architects were then tasked with making a model that not only responded to what they saw, but envisioned an alternative future for the original drawing while adhering to the constraints of the project
Our practice was given Basil Spence’s sketch for the enlargement of the Houses of Parliament. To view our response to this project please visit the Drawing Matter website here.
