Oskar en FELT winnen de BMA-wedstrijd voor de restauratie, renovatie en nieuwbouw van de GO! Academie Beeldende Kunsten en het Atheneum in Anderlecht.
De twee scholen komen samen op één gedeelde campus, die doorheen de jaren is gegroeid en een rijke geschiedenis met zich meedraagt. Door het bestaande zorgvuldig te knippen en waardevolle structuren te behouden, ontstaat ruimte voor meer licht, lucht en nieuwe zichten. Ook de kelderverdieping krijgt zo een nieuwe rol.
Heldere assen en nieuwe verbindingen maken het geheel opnieuw leesbaar en verbinden gebouwen, ateliers en buitenruimtes. Tegelijk wordt de verharde site maximaal onthard en vergroend, met ruimte voor tuinen, pleinen en ontmoetingsplekken. Biodiversiteit, waterinfiltratie en klimaatbestendige beplanting versterken het groene karakter van de campus.
Zo ontstaat een toekomstgerichte leeromgeving waar erfgoed en nieuwe ingrepen elkaar versterken. De Academie en het Atheneum behouden hun eigen identiteit, maar vormen samen één campus die mee kan groeien met haar gebruikers.

A proposta de concurso do AIDIA Studio para a Biblioteca Contemporânea de Varna ergue-se como um volume em socalcos e facetado, envolvido por uma pele cintilante em grelha diagonal, com os seus terraços abertos para albergar jardins de árvores bem acima da cidade búlgara. No interior, plataformas de leitura em consola flutuam sobre um átrio luminoso de altura total, transformando a biblioteca numa sala cívica vertical onde a luz, os livros e a vida pública se sobrepõem.

O Heatherwick Studio revelou o seu projeto para reativar o Belvedere, o terraço de 1973 situado entre o centro de Louisville e o rio Ohio, permitindo que uma extremidade da cidade, endurecida ao longo do tempo, se transforme num parque densamente arborizado — com sombra e árvores, espaço para brincar, espaço para abrandar, e a natureza a regressar ao centro de tudo. No seu coração ergue-se o Pavilhão Firefly, um leque de hastes esguias coroadas de luz e inspirado no voo estival dos pirilampos do Kentucky: uma cobertura cívica para concertos, para encontros, para noites comuns, com abertura prevista para 2030 como um local para reunir a cidade e seguir os pirilampos.

Revealed: our new design to transform Belvedere, an under-loved public space in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
At its heart is the Firefly Pavilion, inspired by the dynamic flight of Kentucky’s fireflies.
This distinctive civic structure is designed for everyday community use, as well as larger cultural events.
“It creates a flexible platform for culture, performance and community life, designed to evolve continually with Louisville and its people,” said Stuart Wood, Executive Partner at Heatherwick Studio.
Belvedere originally opened in 1973, positioned between the city’s commercial centre and the Ohio River. Over time, this site became disconnected from city life.
In 2030, it will become “a relaxed and richly planted park, bringing glorious nature back into the heart of downtown,” said Wood.
“More trees and planting provide shade and respite, while generous spaces for play, gathering and relaxation make it a place for every generation to enjoy. A place for Louisville to come together, slow down, discover something unexpected - and follow the fireflies.”

Gabriel Neistein redesenhou a soleira da Rua José Paulino do Centro Comercial Bom Retiro como um verdadeiro convite: um pórtico que puxa o passeio para dentro através de uma sequência medida de espaços, restaurando a porosidade que Lucjan Korngold deu ao complexo em 1957. A luz trazida mais para o interior do corte, elementos de cobogó a filtrar o céu, montras unificadas num único ritmo e um gradiente de cor que se desenrola ao longo do percurso compõem uma narrativa espacial que recupera a linguagem original do conjunto e torna a própria chegada contínua com a arquitetura.

Desenhado pela Artform Architects, este projeto de Centro de Energia, que obteve aprovação prévia no âmbito de uma nova rede de energia no sul de Manchester, reimagina a infraestrutura industrial como um edifício marcante em forma de cunha que contribui positivamente para a paisagem urbana, apoiando simultaneamente as ambições de neutralidade carbónica de Manchester. Combinando um volume de cogeração (CHP) de altura dupla, espaços administrativos, uma chaminé esbelta e acumuladores térmicos cilíndricos, o design oferece uma nova tipologia arquitetónica que trará eletricidade, aquecimento e arrefecimento de baixo carbono a uma comunidade diversificada em toda a zona sul do centro de Manchester.

Taking a look back at our Energy Centre project which we successfully gained planning consent for a few years ago. Sadly it still remains unbuilt but we remain hopeful!
The scheme was designed as part of a planned new energy network in south Manchester, assisting local business and residents in reducing carbon emissions, in line with Manchester City Council’s targets to become carbon neutral by 2038.
The new Energy Centre is a wedge-shaped building that consists of a series of interconnected elements – a double height volume containing the main CHP enclosures and plant space, a smaller single storey volume for administrative use, storage and ancillary plant rooms, a chimney for exhaust gases and three cylindrical thermal stores.
Once built it will supply electricity, heating and cooling, to a diverse group of residents and businesses across a 5 sq.km area in south Central Manchester.
The approach to the project was not only to provide a functional shell for the required plant and infrastructure, but to create a building that would positively contribute to the streetscape and offer a fresh new typology that speaks of it’s use and engages with the community.

Robina, Gold Coast, Australia
Robina is one of Australia’s first and largest planned communities, founded in 1980 alongside the Gold Coast, famous for its beaches, canals, waterways and subtropical rainforest hinterland. Serving the 25,000 residents, Robina Town Centre was originally constructed as an outdoor grouping of urban blocks containing shops and restaurants facing the lake, but this scheme was lost over the years.
The expansion of Robina seeks to turn it from an inward looking shopping centre into an open and urban town centre. The new spaces are unified by an undulating timber-clad roof creating shaded apertures. A series of south-facing notches brings daylight inside with minimal solar gain. Standing seam zinc is used as an external skin.
Inside, the volume evokes a reversed nave, an impression reinforced by the regular ribs and strips of honey-coloured timber. The market hall sits between two large supermarkets and consists of 55 new traders dedicated to celebrating local/regional production.
The market hall spills out onto a flowing, stepped landscaped area accessible from a new car park, providing a water feature and lush planting.

College Green
We have been working with @mica_architects, jeremy_rye and @terrafirmalandscapesltd on College Green, a landscaped urban park in the centre of Croydon.
After a long period of development, the project has just been granted Planning Approval and we will shortly be moving into Stage 4 and the delivery phases.
Our role has been to develop specific areas of hard landscaping as well as inputting into MICA’s overall masterplan and design strategy. This has included a multi-use game area (MUGA), a playground, benches and seating as well as some less clearly programmed spaces encouraging diverse and inclusive uses. The latter include a dance/performance circle incorporating song lyrics and lighting and skateable benches that encourage creative (mis)use and appropriation.
The MUGA includes uses pattern and colour rather than lines to suggest rather than prescribe use. A screen depicting the skyline of Croydon forms a backdrop as well as stopping balls landing where they shouldn’t.
Each of these spaces will be further developed via co-design and engagement workshops conceived and run by CHA.
We have worked closely with the design team and Croydon Council on this project and it’s great to see it moving forward. Thanks to MICA for inviting us to be part of their team and for being such open and creative collaborators.

A intervenção à beira de água do Rural Office em Cardigan transforma o cais da vila numa generosa paisagem cívica, onde bancadas em socalcos, materiais robustos e um espaço público aberto reconectam a margem do rio com a vida comunitária quotidiana. Originalmente concebido como parte de uma estratégia de regeneração mais ampla, o projeto amadureceu e tornou-se num local de encontro animado e adaptável que acolhe eventos sazonais, uso social informal e um renovado sentido de identidade para a vila.

Placemaking
It was Barley Saturday in Cardigan, West Wales so a guaranteed crowd for the annual spring event, and a chance to revisit our first public project by the river`s edge.
It was nearly twenty years ago that we stumbled into this commission as part of regeneration proposals for the town scape and waterfront. Much has changed in this period including attitudes to meanwhile uses, seasonal activation and outdoor amenity, so it was with great pleasure that we witnessed such a joyful place being used as it was intended. The remarkable spring weather helped!
It`s not been an easy adoption for the town. No one took ownership for the quay`s maintenance, the skateboarders battered the steps, and adjoining operators damaged the public realm with beer deliveries, but despite these challenges it is a great example of a successful placemaking strategy.

A proposta conceptual da Taylor Hare Architects reimagina um antigo terreno de jardim rural como uma comunidade de cuidados orientada para a paisagem, onde casas revestidas a madeira, edifícios vernáculos restaurados e jardins partilhados criam um ambiente acolhedor, semelhante a uma aldeia, enraizado na natureza e na ligação quotidiana. Desenhado para parecer revigorante em vez de institucional, o projeto coloca o bem-estar no coração da arquitetura através de caminhos informais, habitações agrupadas e paisagens imersivas que incentivam a familiaridade, a pertença e a comunidade.

Concept Design: A Landscape-led Community for Care
Our proposals for reimagining a former rural garden site once defined by cultivation, now hold the potential for specialist care, community and renewal.
A place shaped not as an institution, but as a small village. Homes that gather in clusters and where shared communal spaces sit at its heart. Existing buildings are imaginatively reworked, drawing on the subtleties of the local vernacular, where familiar forms and materials are reinterpreted with care.
New buildings are designed to sit lightly on the land within informal gardens, where paths meander rather than divide, and where care is woven into the rhythms of everyday life.
We believe the future of rural care lies in places that are more human, more connected, and more imaginative. One where wellbeing is shaped as much by landscape, community and familiarity as it is by function.
Not every project finds its way into the world as a building. Some remain as ideas, testing, questioning and imagining what could be.
If you’re considering how a site might become something more thoughtful, and of a more human scale, we’d welcome a conversation.

Our project for @vaultyouthzone and @onsideyz is now complete and is featured in the @architectsjournal this month with an article written by @franwillz
The new building is the final component in our masterplan for this part of Preston city centre, which began with the refurbishment of Preston Bus Station. The bus station reopened to the public in 2018, and the new public square completed the following year. The Youth Zone opens onto the public square, and the design uses yellow structural elements and a folded fibre-cement façade to relate to the modernist building opposite and create a bold image young people can identify with.

A Stonewood Design aborda a sustentabilidade como a base do design, criando edifícios profundamente contextuais que integram materiais de baixo carbono, estratégias ambientais passivas, biodiversidade e bem-estar comunitário desde o início. Em projetos que vão desde museus e espaços de trabalho até bibliotecas e planos de reutilização adaptativa, o trabalho demonstra uma filosofia ponderada de “Sóbrio, Eficiente, Ecológico” (Mean, Lean, Green) que equilibra o desempenho técnico com a beleza, a ligação cultural e uma intervenção leve na paisagem.
Reposted from @stonewooddesign - always with permission.
For us, sustainability is not a layer added at the end of a project - it is where every project begins.
Operational and embodied carbon matter deeply, but we take a wider view of what makes a place truly sustainable: health, happiness, culture and community.
Our approach is simple - Mean, Lean, Green. Reduce energy demand first, design efficient fabric, and only then consider renewables.
We work with low-carbon materials that have long histories - timber, stone, hemp, rammed earth, thatch, oak shingles - and with the natural conditions of a place: landscape, sun, air and water.
Our Story of Gardening Museum received a RIBA South West Sustainability Award, but awards are not the goal. The goal is something simpler: to make buildings that tread lightly and belong to their place.

🌹ROSE HIP YARD🌹
Three unique new build houses located off Rose Hip Lane where once lay an old storage yard.
The gable ended and faceted green zinc roofs of the houses mimic the old yard and the four metre vaulted ceilings beneath these roofs create airy and spacious volumes, leading to a sense of openness.
The three houses face south looking onto lushly planted gardens with a private gate that opens directly onto Tooting Common where you’ll find acres of green space including tennis courts, outdoor swimming pool, football pitches, tennis courts, playgrounds….you name it!
Large solar controlled glazing draws in huge amounts of daylight whilst the carefully designed greenery provides privacy between each dwelling.
Beautiful brick walls wrap the exterior of the development and the garden facing walls are clad in a softer European larch, completed with moss green window frames.
The structure of each house is constructed from timber. This locks in carbon dioxide and creates highly insulated and airtight dwellings which are thermally efficient, helping to reduce the carbon footprint, which is vital to sustainable living.
Exhaust Air Heat Pumps heat the buildings by reusing energy from waste air providing heating, ventilation, heat recovery and hot water efficiently, simply and economically.

Planning permission has been granted for Ransome’s Dock, a 65,000 sqft mixed use scheme for RD Developments in Wandsworth.
Five new homes placed above the existing warehouses are arranged in a saw-tooth form, drawing on the area’s industrial character. Above the original roofscape, light filled interiors, dramatic volumes and generous external spaces, will create unique dwellings in the sky. The courtyard will also be transformed, introducing biodiverse planting and mature trees that will create a place that can be shared and cherished by the diverse mix of residents and tenants.
The proposal evolves a previous consent, adapting it to meet new regulations, improving the arrival experience, refining commercial spaces, and refreshing the design. A deep understanding of the site acquired over a number of years’ work has informed our approach. Careful adaptations and interventions facilitate the new development, including the insertion of a new access core, and the overhaul of the site’s servicing.
Ransome’s Dock reflects our commitment to adapting existing buildings, increasing their lifespan and value through thoughtful design interventions.

The Richard Cairns Building, Brighton College, Brighton, UK
The Richard Cairns Building at @brightoncollegeuk , UK, is a compact performing arts building where movement is embedded directly into the architecture. Designed for dance, theatre, and music, its curved brickwork appears to stretch and sway, giving the façade a clear sense of rhythm and lightness.
Placed centrally on campus between Gilbert Scott’s 19th-century neo-Gothic building and the sports fields, the building acts as both connector and contemporary counterpart. Sweeping curves, cantilevers, and arches subtly reference the historic context, echoing pointed arches and rose windows without imitation.
Brick plays a key role in this dialogue between old and new. Both façades and roof are clad in Petersen bricks (F563, C563), allowing the building to read as one continuous
volume. At ground level, flint, a material rooted in Brighton’s coastal geology and the original college buildings, is reintroduced before gradually giving way to brick.
The bricks were custom-developed to reflect the varied tones of flint, from light and sandy to dark and almost black. The result is a surface that feels weathered rather than new,
robust enough for the coastal climate, and distinctly geological, as if carved from the cliffs themselves.

Cambridge North, Cambridgeshire
Cambridge North has a 100-year history of track welding. Today, it is one of three new city quarters identified to support UK’s growth as a world leader in Life Sciences. Network Rail opened the railway station in 2017, planting the initial seed for redevelopment on the brownfield site. By 2050, approximately 20,000 inhabitants will live here.
The masterplan for the new town centre creates a network of streets and public spaces extending into the future context, using proportions familiar to Cambridge. A cluster of Life Science buildings are located against the edge of the railways, while residential buildings are arranged around a large park, alongside existing allotments.
The central square between these two character zones defines the heart of this new community, activated by retail and community uses. Design guidelines provide rules for setbacks in massing, materiality and articulation of facades to create a townscape that belongs to Cambridge.
The Cam River Valley is a critical zone for flooding and groundwater management, and great care has been taken to create an urban landscape that is open and permeable for rainwater. Innovative water management strategies, such as rain gardens, swales, and a large balancing pond within a proposed wild park, achieve a balance of water demand and supply 💧

This transformation of a 1970s light industrial unit, previously an underused storage facility for a hat factory, has created flexible workspaces together with a modern light industrial workshop.
The existing structure was robust but unloved, characterised by flat brick elevations, small pillbox windows, uninsulated roofs and deep floorplates.
The project future-proofed the fabric with upgraded roof insulation and low-energy services. The primary elevation now boasts a theatrical canopy, scalloped coping and red and pink high-performance fenestration and doors.
Internally, the layout has been reconfigured to accommodate multiple occupancy. The ground floor retains its use as a CNC workshop, which is accessed via a rear goods entrance.
The first floor has been refurbished as a contemporary workspace, with brickwork painted a warm white to maximise light. A central utility block comprising a kitchen, bathrooms and shower divides the space into flexible front and rear studios. Enlarging an existing opening has created a new full-height, south-facing window featuring a large slider for ventilation. Redundant roof vents have been turned into mirror-lined rooflights to enhance daylight penetration.
The project is a testbed for the wider regeneration of Liverpool’s Fabric District, prioritising energy efficiency, and showcases the potential for reusing modern industrial buildings.

O Rigg Beck, da Knox Bhavan, é uma habitação de encosta maravilhosamente integrada cuja linha de cobertura alongada e suavemente curvada ecoa as colinas circundantes, desdobrando-se para capturar a luz e amplas vistas sobre o vale. Cuidadosamente em'}}>
Cuidadosamente enquadrada na paisagem, a casa combina formas artesanais de pedra e madeira com sistemas quase autónomos (off-grid) para criar um refúgio sustentável e discretamente expressivo.

Rigg Beck
The simple form of the house and its roof responds and reflects the profile of Causey Pike above it. As it runs down the hill more floors emerge until the east end of the house where it is three storeys high, its ridge centred on a line drawn from the top of Cat Bells mile to the east. This enables the principal rooms to collect south light and enjoy views.
Geothermal bore holes, ground source heating, solar collectors, and a water bore hole allow the house to function almost entirely off-grid.
