Haworth Tompkins at Open House Festival 30.08.22

There are architect led tours at three of our projects this September, as part of the Open House Festival. Associate Patrick Quinn will be taking groups around Kingston School of Art on Tuesday 13th. This award-winning refurbishment for Kingston University's Knights Park Campus houses workshops and creative facilities for disciplines including photography, ceramics, metalwork, printmaking and digital media. On Saturday 17th, architect Annecy Attlee will show people around Silchester Estate, our housing project for Peabody in west London. This project, a recipient of awards from RIBA, Civic Trust and NLA amongst others was completed in 2016 and provided over 100 new homes, designed around a communal garden. Finally on Tuesday 20th, Associate Director Ken Okonkwo will lead a tour of Fish Island Village alongside Pitman Tozer, Lyndon Goode and Bureau de Change, our collaborators on this scheme. This project will be launching this autumn after the completion of the Trampery fashion studios. Please book all these tours via the Open House website.
