The undisputed high point of 2022 has been welcoming everyone back to the studio after two years of pandemic induced disruption. Other highlights include winning the AJ100 Practice of the Year for the second time in three years, being named BD Higher Education Architect of the Year, Associate Director Ken Okonkwo being selected as one of the Mayor’s Design Advocates for London, Laura Gaskell and Hugo Braddick being promoted to become Associate Directors and James Walker to Associate, and cementing our commitment to improving our social and environmental impact by achieving B Corp Certification.
We celebrated the completion and launch of five projects: the new auditorium @sohoplace, King’s House – a community church opened by King Charles earlier this month, Agile Workspace for Kingston University, One Cartridge Place for Punchdrunk in Woolwich, and the Trampery Workspace and final phase at Fish Island Village.
We won another batch of awards including a Housing Design Award for Fish Island Village, NLA Masterplanning Award for Albert Island, the Theatre Building of the Year at the Stage Awards (our fifth in seven years) and a Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Award for Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and a Planning Award for Gardner Close.
It has been an exciting year for us as we continue to develop our portfolio in all our major sectors. We’re working with the Earls Court Development Company on a mix of uses for the first phase of their masterplan for the former Exhibition Centres site. We’re carrying out masterplans for Trinity Hall, Cambridge and the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales. We’ve been appointed to work on housing projects for Lampton 360 in Hounslow and for Be First in Barking, on a feasibility study for the Liverpool Playhouse, and the refurbishment of Canning Town Old Library for LB Newham.
Planning permission was received for a number of projects including for the new annex at The Old Vic, 237 homes for British Land at Canada Water, and for Custom House for LB Newham.
Several projects started on site such as the Warburg Institute, Wood Street Families and Homes Hub in Waltham Forest, The Old Vic Annex, Lambeth Archive, and Greenhill Centre in Newham.
2023 will see a number of project completions including Malmo Stadsteater in Sweden, Barking Industria, Blackwall Reach, phase one of Pembroke College Cambridge, and the Lightroom for the London Theatre Company which opens with the new David Hockney exhibition early next year.
We’re looking forward to 2023 and wish all our staff, clients and collaborators a very Happy New Year.
