We are extremely pleased to announce with @kevinkellyarchitects, we have won the Treehouses at Kew Design Competition with our collaborative response to “Nature’s Architecture and Biomimicry”.

Using principles borrowed from nature, our treehouse is an inhabitable amphitheatre. Mimicking pinecones, the structural strength of the pods comes from their shape and their arrangement as a cluster. Organized over two tiers, for those who want to keep their feet on the ground or the climbers amongst us. It is a space to sit down and look up, to witness the greatest designer of them all, nature.

We looked beyond the traditional idea of a ‘Treehouse’ to provide a fresh interpretation of what it can be. We wanted to capture the childhood intimacy offered by treehouses or a den made from cushions: a hinterland, concealed away but yet neither inside or outside – somehow inhabiting a threshold.

We used digital programming as part of our design process and applied it to a centuries old construction technique and material. This re-frames willow weaving and elevates it beyond the realm of craft to contemporary architectural discourse. Our woven willow is choreographed into digital patterns inspired by Kew’s research into the DNA and genome sequences of conifer trees.

We’d like to thank all those that helped us get to this point, @bat.studio, @finsauk, @arupgroup, & @cundall, and @museumofarchitecture and @kewgardens for running an excellent competition. We can’t wait to get weaving!

The scaffolding is finally down at Reliance Arcade in Brixton. Lights are for life and not just for Christmas! A project with @hughcullumarchitects

We are working in the refurbished of Reliance Arcade in Brixton with @hughcullumarchitects. Works are almost complete... watch this space for more!

Sketching out the concept for a new pavilion in the office this afternoon. Apparently it looks more like a submarine 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s the end of the week, so here is the end of a wall.
