Hello – it’s been a while! We’re back with our recent feature in 25 Beautiful Homes Magazine. We’ve got a giveaway of a new RIBA book on skilful design for small spaces featuring several of our projects. We welcome our recent recruit, Dominic. And we celebrate the work of Project Architect Rita at the Royal Society of Ulster Architects.

April in May, May in April, then glorious June! Its not surprising things feel a little topsy-turvy. We even missed our quarterly window for our spring newsletter. Here’s the new season’s lowdown.

With things speeding up after lockdown it’s hard to know which way is up! But we’ve also never been busier. This month we’ve got a photoshoot to share, and we get nerdy with architectural materials. And our new house commissions run the gamut from compact urban sites to complex rural piles.

It’s February already. We’re here with news and WFH views, to give you something to smile about. Working from home over the past few lockdowns has given us some room to reflect. We make playful, sustainable buildings for a lifetime. We want our clients to feel good in the spaces they live in. And strangely enough, in lockdown that vision has only got stronger.

Our listing in The Modern House Directory went up in January, and we’re talking with our partners Wedesignhomes about a feature on our practice, due out in the spring. Our Instagram account is booming, and in January Rita featured as a guest contributor to the Women In Architecture Northern Ireland account!

Despite the gloom of impending lockdown, we still have a few things to celebrate. It’s seven years since we started the practice in 2013, and five years since our Project Architect, Rita, joined us. In that time we’ve grown to a team of four, won a London LABC Building Excellence Award in 2019, and featured extensively in the media. We are listed by We Design Homes, are soon to be in The Modern House directory and recently designed a brochure talking about what we do. This newsletter is dedicated to who we are now. And accompanied by lovely images of our recent work, like the gorgeous Choumert House above. Oh, and we’re offering a free case of wine to existing clients who successfully recommend us!

It’s strange to think how much the world has changed in a few short months: how furloughs, working from home, social distancing and the everyday rhythms and frustrations of domestic life have become pressing concerns for us all. Spaces certainly feel different when you have to work, live and exercise in them 24/7.
