PASSIVHAUS
BRE Ravenscraig Zero Carbon/Code Level 6/Passivhaus Sustainable By Design Client: BRE and UK Passivhaus Trust The proposal for a large family house at Ravenscraig is a simple and compact design with a wide frontage and shallow plan layout taking full advantage of the solar orientation available for a detached house - providing a pleasant, healthy, steadystate internal environment and ample sized windows providing plenty of natural daylight. In Summer, the house is protected from overheating by sun shading from the timber pergola /balcony, planted with deciduous climbers for additional shading and greening in summer with full solar access in winter months. On the North facade the front entrance is sheltered by a slate-clad porch which also provides secure bicycle and recycling storage.

TOWER BLOCK
Thamesmead London Borough of Bexley, Tower Block retrofit Client: Gallions/Peabody Sustainable BY Design, working with Urban Initiative Studios, won planning permission on behalf of Gallions Housing Association for the retrofit of three, 13-storey tower blocks on the Thamesmead Estate in East London. The proposals include comprehensive insulated over-cladding of walls, soffits and roof, upgraded replacement glazing, including enclosure of the open balconies; replacement of gas boilers with efficient condensing models; new demand-controlled ventilation; and ground floor alterations and extensions to provide more welcoming entrances. Frankham Consultancy have modelled the estate using their latest laser scanning technology to accurately and efficiently capture 3D spatial data to aid the masterplanning process.

SLAB BLOCK
Hallfield Westminster, Thermal Upgrade to listed slab blocks. Sustainable By Design Client: CityWest Homes Sustainable By Design were appointed by CityWest Homes to establish the scope of building works required to improve the internal environment for the residents living within the Hallfield Estate in Westminster. The iconic mix of 10-storey and 6 storey blocks designed by Lasdun and Drake architects were built in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and have recently been Grade II Listed. SbyD have been monitoring the internal temperature and humidity levels in a number of flat situations scattered across the estate, before and after pilot interventions, as well as interviewing residents to discuss measures to combat cold and condensation during the winter months. Our study has helped understand the relationship between the limitations of the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building construction and how the current residents wish to live, to inform a comprehensive package of improvements.

COMMUNITY HUB
Phoenix Garden Ecology and Education Centre, Covent Garden, London Sustainable By Design Client: The Trustees, Phoenix Community Garden The design evolved by evaluating optimum location and facilities for a new community building within this idyllic, tranquil garden site â&#x20AC;&#x201C;a haven in the surrounding, high density, bustling area within central London, through analysis, research and discussions with the comminity group and gardener. Sustainability analysis of the existing site led to a passive form in a location where safety and security are maximised. The proposed building has a robust and sculptural street elevation with a softer side opening to the ecology garden, incorporating a brown roof, a plant propogation area, planted walls, a veronoi living wall for birds and insects, garden workshop, new community and education facilities and a warden;s office, all overlooking the garden.

NURSERY
Angell Town Nursery Brixton, New Nursery Classroom and Reception Anne Thomas while at J.R. Davies Associates Client: London Diocese J.R. Davies Associates were commissioned to design a new Nursery building for St. John’s school in Brixton. The building has an independent entrance and reception while also linked to the main school for integration for certain events. The main school building is a single storey aluminium frame structure, timber clad. The new building adds an independent character and face to the school. The large open nursery space is achieved with large spanning glu-lam beams while the scale plays with and reflects the scale and heights of all it’s inhabitants with large ground level windows out onto the play area. The building aims to make the adult occupants aware of the different perspective it’s little inhabitants have of the world and aware of our own scale and spatial awareness.

PROPOSED GF PLAN
20 Dalston Lane is based within a London Terrace, once a derelict shop, the building is now home to an urban farming hub featuring revolving urban agriculture experiments, a fresh food cafe, a workspace and events venue packed to the rafters with living and breathing food - literally a farm in a shop: - ‘Aquaponic’ micro fish farming; High tech Indoor allotment; Rooftop chicken coop; Poly-tunnel Working with the Something & Son team I helped develop the concept, advise on building regulations and lead a build team of volunteers. Quoted as “One of 2011’s most dynamic social design projects - New York Times, Design Honors List for 2011”. This has now lead to and developed further into a sister project Ek-Biç Ye-İç in Istanbul adjacent to Taksim square. Galvansiing and connecting some of the existing ‘bostans’ (community gardens) and a culture with a love of food. The space provides workshops, a space to meet, hold talks and share knowledge as well as a seed exchange space (a tradition in Istanbul).

Borough SPACE Concept - Gallery/Performance Space Anne Thomas The aim, to increase access and raise awareness of the contemporary arts and the environment in a fun and playful way. This in part is to be encouraged via the building’s interaction with the street and it’s relationship within the local context of railway bridges, access roads and through paths. A back-land between Waterloo, London Bridge and Elephant and Castle. The entrance has been designed as a series of walls which ‘step out onto’ the pavement suggesting connection and a pathwaythrough. Offering up the notion of public access inviting exploration and offering up a canvas for street art. A play on boundaries, the idea of what is art and where and to whom it belongs. By exploring the walls and views into the basement you are enticed and delivered into the heart of the site to a quiet courtyard which could host installations, performances and construction workshops...and then invited further to climb the industrial shed like structure up high to explore the art, the views and layers of the city. The building is designed to provide a mixture of studios, galleries and performance spaces to be used by local artists, performers, community groups and schools.
