5 years on…
We are five years old! Seems like yesterday we set up with a very simple business plan – design good buildings with people we like and respect, for people we like and respect. We have been very lucky so far and are grateful to have made many good friends along the way. Looking forward to a few drinks once lockdown is over. Until then, here's to the next five years!
We're really excited to see Teddington cricket pavilion featured in Dezeen today. It's been quite a journey, backed by a wonderful club and a great construction team. Photos: Ben Tynegate and Reed Watts
Finsbury Circus proposal
Our proposal for the recent Finsbury Circus pavilion competition with Landscape Projects. The design includes a new pavilion clad in terracotta, referencing the Arts and Crafts movement with planting inspired by the work of Gertrude Jekyll. With café on the ground floor, and an open terrace on the roof, the new building would give visitors the chance to experience the landscape from a number of different views and provide a raised platform for events. The chimney structure provides ventilation for the café as well as housing a lift for wheelchair access.

Application submitted #4
As part of our work on Bishop's Palace House in Kingston-upon-Thames, we're hoping to make some small, but important improvements to the existing façades.
We've been working at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park since 2015. We've submitted a planning application for our next project there – improvements to the back of house areas and the auditorium's control booth.
On behalf of Marshfield CLT, we've applied to South Gloucestershire Council for permission to build 18 homes on the edge of Marshfield.
We've submitted for planning permission for this new visitor reception and shop at Ightham Mote
More light, more power
We've been talking to local residents and businesses about future improvements at Shoreditch Town Hall. We'll soon be presenting these to Hackney Council before submitting an application for Listed Building Consent.
Bushy Park Pavilion
We've completed our new pavilion for Teddington Cricket Club. Built using cross-laminated timber, the building uses a ground-source heat pump and collects rainwater for irrigating the adjacent pitches.

A version of our Commonweal Pods have been installed at the Redbridge Winter Shelter. Developed by George Fisher, this version is lower and better suited to spaces with low ceilings.
