Haworth Tompkins' tours at Open House Festival 12.08.21

There are architect led tours at two of our projects this September, as part of the Open House London Festival. Associate Director Dan Tassell will be taking groups around Kingston School of Art on Friday 10th. 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. Also on Friday 10th, architect David Graham 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. Please book both these tours via the Open House website here.
