A case study of our Stirling Prize shortlisted project Darbisher Place has been included in the second edition of The Housing Design Handbook by David Levitt and Jo McCafferty. The book looks at a range of cases to illustrate the way that different issues in the design of housing have been approached and what makes successful housing design.
Under the tile ‘Happy Ending’, Jan-Carlos Kucharek has reviewed the Chapel for Ripon Theological College in Oxfordshire. The article reflects on the conversations with the client to develop the design, together with the stories and architectural precedents that worked together to inform the building’s final form. Kucharek writes, “…there’s no questioning the positive effect of McLaughlin’s £2.6m chapel on the picturesque Ripon College, both functionally and aesthetically.” He goes on to describe the elliptical form, accessed on the diagonal between the long and short axes, as “a master stroke.”
