We make spaces that connect communities to the natural environment, developing designs closely with end-users and for self-builders.
Our projects make the most of existing or readily-available materials, arranging these with care to make playful and beautiful structures.
An outdoor classroom to support an ongoing ecological restoration project by providing meeting and teaching space for visitors and volunteers
Building a timber shelter with volunteers over four days, using whole polycarbonate sheets and strapping blocks on top of reclaimed sleepers
Four shower cubicles inspired by bird hides, providing a rare moment of enclosure after long days working in the outdoors. Apertures in each cubicle have been orientated towards a beautiful oak tree on site.
Filling gabion baskets with waste building aggregate, to pin the structure down without permanent foundations whilst also providing a good habitat for little critters
Cataloguing the components from two derelict horse sheds
Opal polycarbonate keeps out the rain, lets in the light without the heat, and nods to greenhouse vernacular
A reciprocal frame roof
Reusing the sleepers from the old foundations of an existing yurt
Notched rafters form a strong roof structure, keeping the space column-free for active school children
Teaching design and deconstruction to young people, dismantling a shed and building furniture out of its catalogued components
Elevations, axonometric views and diagrams to make the construction process clear and simple
Covered, light-filled tiered seating made for hosting lessons, meetings and lunches
Two shells of tiered seating, offset at a slight angle to one another in order to open views up towards the land
A mirror panelled circle bar
Working with a community garden to build new spaces
Reusing metal skids and rubber mats reclaimed from dismantled horse sheds as foundations for a new structure
The shower hide is designed around whole lengths and widths of timber in order to minimise cutting time as well as waste. The structure also uses upcycled plywood sheets salvaged from the film industry.
The shower block sits on zero-cement footings, comprising of tree trunks from the site resting on compacted gravel pits. Reclaimed concrete pavers are used as the shower floor, which also act as ballast for the structure.
