Together with local architects Juul Frost, and alongside four other international practices, we have been shortlisted for the Aalborg 'City in-between' competition being held by Realdania for strategic urban planning and landscape in Denmark. The competition focuses on innovative ideas for sustainable urban development, mobility and infrastructure. Winners will be announced in June.

A detailed planning application has been submitted for Vauxhall Square, a 154,000 sqm mixed-use development scheme in Vauxhall. Located close to Vauxhall’s transport interchange the development includes two residential towers, office, retail, a restaurant and café space,  student accommodation, a 438 bed hotel, a cinema, a homeless hostel and a major new public square.

An exhibition describing the recently completed Microloan Foundation Training Centre, in Kasungu, Malawi, is currently on display at our Southwark Street studio. Designed to maximise shading and natural ventilation, and incorporating local materials, the scheme provides teaching space for this women's microfinance charity.

Becca Voelcker, a fine art student from Goldsmiths University, will be showing her short film, Campo San Lorenzo, at our Southwark Street studio on Friday this week. Based upon a rather neglected square in Venice, the film offers a portrait of the space and how it operates at different times of day and night.  The film will be shown on loop in the ground floor exhibition space on Friday 2nd December from 10am-6pm.

Girton College, Cambridge University, has received planning permission for Ash Court, a new 50-bedroom, competition-winning, student accommodation development on its site.  The highly-sustainable scheme is designed to Passiv-haus principles and also includes the refurbishment of the college’s listed swimming pool and changing facilities.

Full planning consent has been secured for the Old Market development in Hereford, a 310,000 sqft retail and leisure scheme.  The development will deliver a sensitive extension to Hereford, reflecting its distinct architectural heritage and identity and creating a strong cohesion with the city centre.

St Ives House, an office refurbishment and extension in the heart of Southwark, has received planning permission. The development, which will shortly go on site, represents one of the practice’s 14 schemes in the borough.
