Table designed and made in douglas fir at Corbel House
The stepped motif is rotated to form the language for the tables props and cantilevers, a keen eye might also see it on the top of the finger grips to the joinery wall behind.

Happy to have a text and drawing included in the exciting Building with Writing: Stan Allen x GA/LA/UD show at Pratt GA/LA/UD , as well as being on the exhibition poster.
The text asks for the encouragement of young architects to engage in an unapologetic mannerist phase where they can produce work from a visceral place before having to immediately defend its meaning or merit. It also asks that this phase be supported through the publication of its ideas and speculations and not have it succumb to the pressures of social media and building.
The drawing is from a project at Rock, the practice I run out of the UK with Adam Leigh-Brown. It is also a small nod to the figure who the exhibition honours.

When I did the Glasgow School of Art Project in 2020 and said ‘ leave it as a ruin’ I didn’t mean it.
With news emerging that the school cannot afford a ‘ faithful reconstruction’ it seem that its immediate future will be just that, a ruined shell with internal bracing. This building resonated with me so deeply and still inspires what I do today. My proposal was an attempt to engage a larger conversation about the site, but it seems that the plot at the bottom of the hill will become uninspiring, generic student housing. This masterpiece deserves better, I hope we rally.

Tur House interiors.
The thick facade passively shades the high summer sun to create a cool and even ambient light inside.

Invitations for
A single solid, quarried then subdivided and sent out as individual invitations to explore their platform. Each fragment is finished in itself and a piece of something larger. The rock is digital, quarried from a model rather than the ground, and printed back into sand so it takes form in a geological material. It sits in the ambiguity of our ecological present, where the category of nature as something separate from us and the things we make, is no longer a productive way to divide the world.

Tholos House
A full refurbishment of an existing house in Cambridge, England — named after its extension. Four load-bearing stone columns define the new volume, two of which are inhabitable, drawing on the ancient tradition of circular gathering spaces in Greek antiquity.
The clients had the confidence to push this idea, and the project is better for it. Detailed design is well underway with a great team — looking forward to getting it on site.
