Overview: Achieving a total of 301 units across 13 levels at Phase 1, this student accommodation project on Beresford Street sits on a 0.95HA site, becoming a crucial part of the Woolwich townscape. The scheme boasts 9,537sqm of amenity and accommodation, covering both cluster and studio unit types. Phase 2 delivers an additional 120 units, significantly enhancing the overall offer to residents. Community Impact & Value: The design provides improved active frontages to Beresford Street while respecting nearby heritage assets. Set back levels help to break up the building's massing and reduce the visual dominance of its height. A combination of external and internal amenity provisions promote social connection and student well-being. Technical Insights & Challenges: Co-ordination with specialist subcontractors has allowed for detailed articulation across the scheme, namely the chamfered brick detailing to the window reveals and carefully chosen material palette. The sensitive context adjacent to a conservation area required ongoing collaboration with the local authority planning department, to deliver a contextually relevant yet innovative building. Ongoing focus on landscaping design has been key in supporting and increasing local biodiversity. Key Achievements: Located prominently on Beresford Street, the scheme forms an integral part of the wider Woolwich Arsenal master plan. It is currently on site in line with the construction programme, with occupation due in 2026.

Overview: Our proposals for a vibrant, mixed-use, dynamic pavilion sit at the heart of London-based developer, Related-Argent's plans for a vibrant new North London neighbourhood. Independent restaurants, shops, cafes, office space, new health centre, and over 1000 homes all form part of a new central public square which the Tottenham Hale Pavilion centralises. Community Impact & Value: The project was commissioned following an invited competition, our response to the brief sought to create a scheme that balanced moments of openness and quieter spaces sheltered from the activity around. These opposing conditions require a suitably dynamic building. Orientated to enclose specific parts of the civic square, the lower volume shifts and steps in plan to provide a mix of shelter and access, giving a duality to the ground floor of the slender scheme. Technical Insights & Challenges: Despite sharing a similar footprint, the upper floor differs dramatically from the ground floor, establishing a strong distinction between base and top. The translucent top is designed to be just as flexible as the active ground level, accommodating different functions throughout the day. Public areas of the first floor provide a considered outlook during the daytime and are illuminated internally at night, becoming a wayfinding beacon and focal point of the square. Key Achievements: The mixed-use 750sqm Pavilion utilises Modern Methods of Construction to create a civic centrepiece at economical build rates. Falling centrally within the wider masterplan, the site becomes a crossing point for new walking, cycling and tube access routes established as part of the sustainable mobility strategy. The new civic square will be a picturesque symbol of regeneration for new and existing residents alike.

Overview: Our second major project for the City of London’s Barbican Centre followed the same principles as the Art Gallery refurbishment: to prioritise retention, repair and reuse as the basis of a contemporary renewal within the Grade-II listed cultural complex. Alongside the intricate design involved in reactivating the shared Pit Theatre and Cinema 1 as a Barbican Centre destination, our approach ensured that the spaces and routes to them were upgraded to be entirely accessible by modern standards. Community Impact & Value: Every design decision sought to respect and reinforce the original architects’ vision of creating an exciting interplay of light, scale and perspective, tied together with a select material palette. The open layout and flexible arrangement of furniture were inspired by original materials, graphics and motifs present across the site. Technical Insights & Challenges: Bespoke and original refurbished furniture concepts were designed in-house and sensitively sat within the wider composition and centre strategy. We designed light fittings that emphasised the foyer’s unique volume, and offered distinctive markers that combined with the new signage for a layered, natural wayfinding approach. Durability and sustainability were key factors in new material selection. Fabrics that line the cinema and foyers utilised natural and recycled yarns that also met the demanding hygiene and maintenance standards required for the public setting. Valchromat, a toxin-free, natural, wood-fibre panel dyed with organic pigments, was used for the refined routed table bases. Above this, deep brass tops shall age gracefully, developing unique patinas further contributing to the rich history of this iconic setting. Key Achievements: A relevant new interior that references the quality and original concepts of the Barbican Centre helps this previously underutilised area into an invigorating and flexible space eagerly used by all.

Overview: This new student accommodation scheme in High Wycombe consists of two blocks at 6 storeys achieving a total of 182 units. This 9,106sqm project feeds into a wider masterplan that RUFFARCHITECTS are developing, serving as the foundational element for the broader residential strategy. The development looks to transform the 1.3HA site, uplifting the existing student village in Hughenden. Community Impact & Value: The design aims to elevate the standard of student accommodation, setting new benchmarks within the sector. With a diverse range of communal amenity spaces and a forward-thinking approach to landscaping, the scheme prioritizes the well-being of its residents. Collaboration with Harman Hughenden Park Limited and BNU has been instrumental in keeping the design focused on the needs of its users, whilst catering to tight project timelines. Technical Insights & Challenges: The roofscape and elevational design create a compelling balance between the past and the present. A stepped form visually breaks up the building whilst maximising the internal floor plan. The bedroom units have been efficiently planned to a standard layout, dimension, and typology, creating a successful mass on site which considers all the various constraints of its existing development. Brick variation provides relief to the large mass and softens the impact of a repetitive facade. Passivhaus principles have been integrated from the outset, working closely with sustainability and energy consultants to maintain a fabric first approach. The scheme aims to meet Net Zero Carbon standards, supporting the university in their wider mission of achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030. Key Achievements: The project maintains a conscious balance of cost, deliverables, and sustainability targets, as a nationally leading example of purpose built student accommodation, working to a fast-paced programme for construction in 2027.

Overview: A former children’s hospital sat on the 0.33HA central Swanley site in Kent prior to the Client’s 1970’s sheltered housing provision. Having reached the end of its life, wholesale fit for purpose new social housing outweighed refurbishment of the shared HMOs to provide a truly sustainable provision of 22 new much needed 3 bedroom, six person houses. Community Impact & Value: The 11 socially rented and 11 shared ownership properties make the most of natural daylight through orientation and comprehension of the original, well-considered hospital footprints. Swanley’s rich Victorian history as a thriving horticultural and healing environment served the sick of London for generations. This ideal of social prescription saw wellbeing thrive. It seems only right that our project respects this and provides high quality social housing in this mature verdant setting. We have retained all 25 mature trees, including 12 oaks, 3 large horse chestnuts and several beautiful signature cherry and maples, with approximately 1500sqm of new and enhanced existing green habitat. Densification of the site was possible due to the innovative housing typologies set around a central courtyard, landscaped to provide functional car parking and useable community amenity. Technical Insights & Challenges: Our approach of contextual and environmental conditions builds on West Kent Housing Association’s aspirations for best in class. With 100% A-rated SAP (2023) certification, this fabric first approach sees sustainable principles supported with PV arrays and locally sourced material selection. The palette of natural tones ensures the contemporary robust brickwork designs bed the highly energy efficient housing typologies into the existing varied local vernacular. Key Achievements: The delivery stages will be supported through the appointment of local trades and contractors to ensure locally needed housing also supports local jobs and training.

Overview: This station marker building provides a mix of single and duplex residential accommodation over a newly proposed childcare facility at the entrance of a key London Overground Station. Community Impact & Value: Within a conservation area and adjacent to the Grade II former station building, this rare opportunity looks to provide 24 new high-quality homes. The enhancements to the public square and termination of the station approach will underpin the vibrant retail parade that occupies the railway arches. With the Overground orbital extension in December 2012, this sustainable form of transport in the PTAL 6a rated area provides clear wayfinding to the town centre station and a much-needed community and social purpose in the form of an early years nursery. Other adjacent marker buildings help orientation, including a Library and Leisure Centre, on the adjacent High Street. Technical Insights & Challenges: Sitting neighbouring the railway provides design and construction constraints, from noise for new residents and piling strategies, to ensuring continuity of the passing train services. The significance of the building as a marker within the conservation area also drives the high quality design. The high risk building (HRB) under the Building Safety Act also requires an innovative unit mix to best address housing numbers within the slender floorplate. With the main building elevation orientated south, the triple aspect units are designed to maximise natural light while using the chamfered balcony design to provide solar shading, reducing potential summertime overheating. Key Achievements: The experience developer at this early stage of the project , provides an outstanding design led approach to tight urban site regeneration, whilst respecting the historic value of the area.
