Shoreditch based GPAD have submitted planning proposals for this standalone housing project, an infill development on the edge of Preston Road Sports Ground in Wembley. The building`s form references the pavilion that once stood on the site.
Reposted from @gpadlondon - always with permission.
"Last month we submitted plans for Pellatt Road - the transformation of an underutilised piece of land opposite Preston Road Sports Ground into a bold and characterful new residential development in the heart of Wembley.
The design approach is rooted around the original Metroland ethos, with homes set within abundant greenspace amenity, whilst drawing architectural inspiration from exemplar modernist buildings within the borough.
The low-energy proposal features 13 generously proportioned dual-aspect homes that widen the offer available locally and support a community of all ages. Homes that will be environmentally responsible, with carefully selected enduring materials, super-insulated and with on-site renewables to deliver sustainable homes that are cheap to run.
The sculpted form addresses the sports ground in the spirit of the pavilion which once stood on the site. It responds to, and acknowledges, its proximity to neighbouring homes with articulation offering further space for planting, shared amenity and retention of existing trees."

A beautifully detailed dormer on Hipp House, by Wandsworth based Oliver Leech Architects. This extension to an interwar house with hipped roof creates textural interest through soft timber cladding, "the Siberian Larch is imbued with oil to naturally weather the timber to a silvery grey and is laid in an alternating pattern in terms of timber widths to give a playful appearance to the façade and offset the sharp lines of the hipped roof and dormer."

A beautiful reinvention of existing structures in London, to create high quality new workspaces in central London by Fletcher Priest Architects. "By retaining 85% of the existing structure and façade, Marylebone Place sustainably reimagines a tired office site into 75,000 sq ft of workspace" - and they have offered some striking new contextual/contemporary facades to the streetscape in the process. Read the article at AJ for the full lowdown.

Not one but two great housing projects by London based Acme are attracting attention in this year`s architectural award lists. Founded in 2007, Acme is a medium size studio that is growing fast - with a collection of striking projects in the commercial, residential and public realm sectors - across the world. We particularly love Shoreline, a reinterpretation of the seaside crescent typology in Folkestone, inversed, and beautifully curvy in every way. While The Haydon project responds in a different way to the context of central London, a singular block on a tight site with a dense array of staggered apartments.

A fantastic competition win from Gort Scott shared on the socials and press this week. There are already so many great buildings at Girton College, including the historic campus buildings by Alfred Waterhouse, and this will be a great addition to the collection.

"We are pleased to share news of our recent appointment with Girton College, University of Cambridge.
Gort Scott – working alongside J&L Gibbons and Price & Myers – has won a design competition for a major planned addition to the College. The 9,400m2 New Court project will be the most significant single building project on the College’s main site since its foundation, and will allow the College to accommodate a larger number of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the heart of the College, while improving conference and performance facilities, including an iconic auditorium. With an emphasis on sustainability, health and well-being and connections between people, buildings and landscape, Gort Scott’s successful approach draws upon the College’s inclusive ethos and rich architectural heritage.
The New Court project will be the latest in a series of higher education projects by the practice including St Hilda’s College, Oxford and St Catharine’s College, Cambridge."

We appreciated this candid photo on of a project under construction - the contrast between the bold exo-skeleton and glass facade on a sunny day.

"Extending the indoors, outdoors…
Extension and reconfiguration of a Grade II listed farmhouse just outside of Norwich.

Founded by Ryan Neiheiser and Xristina Argyros in 2015, Neiheiser Argyros is a Kilburn and London based studio who have produced a string of wonderful projects, concepts and installations. Their public realm project for Astir Marina, in southern mainland Greece supports a new mixed development around the quay.
Reposted from @neiheiser_argyros - always with permission.
"The landscape design of the new Astir Marina is a giant map of the history and current pressures on the site, literally drawn into the hardscape of the new marina. Like the map in Borges’ short story, On the Exactitude of Science, the project is a map that is as accurate as the reality it represents. The map is the territory.
The concept for the project emerges out of the unique challenge of designing a landscape where there is currently no land. One way of thinking about this lack of land is that it’s a blank site – a void – a tabula rasa. But of course this isn’t the case. The sea makes invisible the complex and dynamic ecosystems of the sea bed which is continuous with the visible ground. We started by looking at ways of representing this sea landscape; the nautical charts and maps that use elevation marks, contours, wind vectors, gradients of color, and hatches to represent the territory that is both above and below the water line. We were particularly inspired by the aesthetic of topographic contours, traces of the ground projected onto a flat 2d surface.
We looked back at the geographic history of the site, using old military aerial scans from World War II, in order to discover the original or “natural” shape of the ground, with its beaches, and coves, and islands. We found this prehistory really exciting and wanted to try and tell the geologic story of this site in our design. We therefore overlayed the historic contours with the marina outline generated by the marine engineers for the project."

GRID Architects was founded in 2009 by Craig Casci (now retired), Colin Veitch and Laurence Osborn, who had met whilst working at Hamilton Associates - a company that divided into multiple great new studios when it closed in 2010. Their portfolio includes an impressive collection of large housing, build to rent, workplace, and mixed use buildings across London. We love the curved underside of the crown of this recently consented residential tower in Battersea - framing the top balconies which appear as both inset, and open at the same time.

"We are pleased to announce that our 80-100 Gwynne Road project has received planning approval from the London Borough of Wandsworth’s planning committee. The project, developed in collaboration with URE Group, aims to re-provide 100% of the existing light industrial space while also creating a new residential destination with 88 apartments, 35% of which are designated for affordable housing.
The top of the building has been designed with a “final flourish,” harmonizing with the architectural aesthetics of the ground floor. Arches serve as a unifying element between the top and base of the structure, appearing above windows and balcony openings. The top two floors are treated in the same material as the ground and first floors, emphasizing the visual connection and reinforcing architectural harmony. The east and west façades follow these principles, with a solid base featuring arched openings, a one-storey gridded elevation on the lower floors, and a similar two-storey pattern on the upper levels. The extended top floor creates a slimmer, elegant crown for the building."

Manchester based Define Architects, founded in 2018 by husband and wife team of Gavin and Ashley Taylor Watts, have developed a portfolio of residential and community projects in the region. We enjoy seeing projects that utilise the existing structural properties of older buildings to create something new. Student accommodation is a booming sector with construction contracts up by 34% in the last year.

"DEF_060/ Oxford Road, Manchester - Submitted for planning and tender, the project focuses on transforming and extending an existing bank into PBSA student accommodation and retail.
The scheme pays respect to the existing materiality and structure on site by utilising and repurposing the concrete shell and cladding.
The façade has been transformed through the introduction of a larger grid and new window module without compromising the structural shell of the building.
A rooftop extension adds much needed additional space to the site whilst improving the building’s proportions and an extension of the building on Oxford Road is introduced to ‘complete’ the corner of the site and align the building to the street edge."

"How we can help you to reimagine your rural ideal?
Through our work on a number of projects across the south of England we have brought life back to the farm through contemporary design.
Situated on this rural site in Somerset with panoramic views, we have designed two contemporary homes that seamlessly replace a redundant farmyard.
Our approach focuses on sustainability, ensuring the new structures are carefully positioned to enhance the natural beauty of the area while minimising their environmental impact.
The design is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the site`s unique characteristics and its broader context. By incorporating natural stone, we introduce texture that allows the modern curved forms to integrate harmoniously with the landscape, marrying contemporary architecture with a refined rural aesthetic.
Let us know what your favourite feature of this project is in the comments."

A great looking shortlisted competition design from Covent Garden based McMullan Architects, who last year received press for their Horatio`s Garden room installation for a Sheffield based Spinal Injury charity. Pavilion competition projects are a great way for small studios to exercise their design skills, for commissions that offer opportunities to up and coming designers.

"We’re excited to share that our pavilion has been shortlisted in the architecture competition for the community pavilion in Devonshire Gardens, Cambridge.
The pavilion is designed with nature at its core, aiming to restore harmony between man-made and natural environments. It integrates sustainability into every aspect, creating a space where nature weaves through the design, promoting biodiversity and environmental stewardship.
As life becomes more digital and isolated, our pavilion seeks to be a place where people can reconnect with nature and each other. It’s designed to be a sustainable, biodiverse garden where friendships flourish."

Orange Design Studio have transformed a semi-detached house in Leeds, through the addition of a striking new extension in charred timber cladding, and cool translucent horizontal feature window. Extra special props to the client, who got their hands dirty and built the project themselves.

"PROJECT COMPLETE - We’re over the moon with our latest project in Leeds. This project saw us working with this red brick semi which had previously been extended in the 60s.
Although in a conservation area, planning was approved for this very contemporary and juxtaposed, charred timber clad extension.
As well as this the ground floor areas were remodelled to create a family orientated oasis that outlooks onto the beautifully and densely landscaped back garden.
The end result is a beautifully crafted, proper family home that has excitement and zest in every space.
Huge credit to our amazing clients for self-building this stunning project!
We’ll post some before and after pictures in our story so keep an eye out!"

Brixton based MOST Architecture have negotiated a tricky planning consent for this difficult site in Dalston - creating high quality new apartments around a cute urban courtyard behind the high street. Challenging urban sites are the lifeblood of skilled architects - and carving something beautiful out of a restrained development opportunity carries reputational benefits.
Reposted from @most.architecture - always with permission.
"We are very happy to reveal that our infill courtyard housing project, behind Kingsland High Street in Dalston, has been granted planning consent by @hackneycouncil.
This project will provide upper-level infill housing over an existing retail premises on Hackney’s busy Kingsland Road. The current building has two recessed residential floors above a one-storey shop unit. The upper levels will be demolished and replaced with high quality courtyard housing.
Our proposal has re-arranged the formal elements of adjacent Victorian buildings, and reinterpreted them. For example, the traditional dog-tooth brick of the roof banding, has found a new place as a linear ornament around a window, which itself mimics the outline shape of period window frames and pediments.
To the rear of the building, on Birkbeck Mews, we have created a relief design on the façade that references the found amalgamation of building heights, slopes, and angles of the traditional mews, which is less formal, and more random in its nature than the high street elevation.
Concentrating the building mass at the two ends of the site allows for a creation of a shared platform courtyard, which can be accessed by all the residents. A space for gathering relaxing, and active gardening."

We were very happy to see this local bar appear in our social feeds, as Beedier is very familiar with it :) The interior is really lovely, designed by local Brockley studio, Gruff Architects - with interesting historical references to the Victorian brickfields that gave the bar its name. And we love to see architects giving publicity to their local business clients through active posting and continued support. We recommend the Negroni, the monthly quiz night, and open DJ sessions on the first Thursday of the month.

"Whilst researching a project nearby to our Brickfields project in Brockley and in continuation of the brick theme, we’ve been looking at how the bar got its name….
The area was predominantly used as farmland until the expansion of railways into the area and it subsequently was consumed by the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham. Former brickpits and ditches were closed and transformed. The area around Hilly Fields was saved from development by the Commons Preservation Society and local groups and became a park.
We incorporated the brick ‘frog’ motif into the bar design, the process became a labour of love with many days spent prototyping, milling and then staining the 62 individual panels and casting the concrete plinth before installing ourselves."

Our outdoor performance space at @friends_school_lisburn is taking shape on-site this summer, in time for the school’s 250th anniversary celebrations. @fabrite8 delivering the magic on-site, and Eamson’s @niallograydee and James making sure it stays standing!
Scroll to the end see how well the structure is beginning to blend into its wooded setting, almost disappearing amidst the trees from some angles.
We can’t wait to see how the pupils make it their own, and put it to good use over the coming academic year.

A beautiful Scottish house with incredible views across the landscape of Sutherland in the northern Highlands. Edinburgh based WT Architecture have a portfolio of work that highlights their skill in the conversion and extension of historic rural stone buildings in remote locations.
Reposted from @wtarchitecture - always with permission.
"More new photos from Dapple Photography of our recently completed house in Sutherland.
A deeply-recessed, sheltered entrance on the leeward side of the building leads into a central dining hall with views and other spaces radiating out in all directions. On approach, the eastern elevations of the building are deliberately more closed with fewer large openings to maintain privacy. A dramatic living space occupies the narrow fore-end of the building looking south and west, with the kitchen space facing east. The two bedrooms, arranged on split levels, look west across the bay."

Knight Architects have designed award winning bridges all over the world - a great specialism to have. The Küstrin-Kietz Rail Crossing, completed this year, was a project that was won following a two-stage international design competition. The crossing revives the once famous Berlin-Königsberg-Eydtkuhnen rail line, breathing new life to an important pre-Cold-War trade corridor.

"We are extremely proud to have played our part in the successful completion of the innovative and striking Küstrin-Kietz Rail Bridge over the River Oder on the German/Polish border.
Working with the talented teams at @schuessler.plan and @schlaichbergermannpartner for the client @deutschebahn, this truly international project has resulted in a beautiful, elegant structure that connects people and enriches communities."

Another great housing project in Southwark, the London Borough that has a reputation for consenting high quality planning proposals. Stirling prize winning studio dRMM, have collaborated with young start-up practice McCloy + Muchemwa. for Phase 2 of the redevelopment of the Tustin Estate - a sensitive, community-centred, re-design of a 1960s housing estate forming part of Southwark Council’s Great Estates programme.
Reposted from @drmm_architects - always with permission.
"The planning submission for Phase Two of the re-development of the Tustin Estate in south-east London has been submitted. Delivering 295 homes at the east of the Estate, this latest phase is a mixture of maisonettes and one-, two- and three-bedroom flats.
Since planning permission for the outline masterplan and Phase One was granted, BOUYGUES UK been appointed as Development Partners with @southwarkcouncil and will be both contractor and developer for all phases. The dRMM-led design team, which includes architectural collaborators @mccloymuchemwa, Landscape Architects @exterior_architecture, Structural Engineers Shockledge, and Sustainability Consultants @xco2_e have worked in close collaboration with the local community. The resultant vision for the estate retains and reinforces the existing green oasis and community spirit as part of the masterplan of 690 homes.
The 167 homes which make up Phase One are currently on site, with completion expected next year, and the whole project is planned to complete in 2030."

Specialist designers of low-carbon buildings, Cambridge based Rock Architects reveal visualisations of Home Farm - a proposed new 5-bedroom family house in rural Cambridgeshire. The project is conceived as four interconnected barn-like forms, each providing a different function.
Reposted from @rockarchitects - always with permission.
"A large passivhaus home nestled in the countryside, inspired by rural architecture with its interconnected barn-like structures. Our design takes in the stunning views across surrounding farmland and runs on 90% less energy compared to other homes of the same size.
The entrance to Home Farm provides plenty of natural light whilst retaining privacy by careful positioning of glazed doors, set back and accessed through a walled courtyard with feature olive tree."

We think this is something really special here at Beedier - a future major award winner perhaps? Stonewood Design are a Corsham based studio who have been responsible for a string of cultural buildings of quality in the west country over the past ten years. Suddenly an important historical issue, with a local personal interest, has been brought into focus through a beautiful new building. The type of commission that architects dream of winning.

"This month marked the opening of our museum project in Cornwall, The Story of Emily.
The Story of Emily Museum celebrates the life of humanitarian Emily Hobhouse, who campaigned against the UK’s use of concentration camps in the Boer War.
Located in her birthplace, the east Cornish village of St Ive, the museum site encompasses the rectory where she grew up in addition to a collection of new build and rebuilt elements.
The museum building houses the War Rooms, an immersive exhibition that tells the story of the Anglo-Boer War and Hobhouse’s involvement in it as an activist.
Peeling back from the scalloped profile zinc facade the entrance guides visitors into an environment far removed from the surrounding Cornish landscape. Upon entering they are hit by 26 degree Celsius conditions, signalling the very different climate of South Africa, before embarking on the main war exhibition.
To provide a fully immersive experience of the exhibition space natural light comes from above, only offering views of the Cornish sky. The use of natural light and the contrasting darkness that comes as a result plays into the themes of the exhibition as you move through the space."
