Thank you to ReWoven.org for involving Matt in the latest ReWeaver Q&A 🌱

ReWoven is a new platform bringing together knowledge, experience and inspiration around adaptive reuse, exploring how we can reweave historic fabric, communities and ideas into new, useful places for people and nature.

Matt shares his thoughts on adaptive reuse and what it takes to bring existing buildings and places back to life, from embracing the unexpected challenges they present, to building trust, taking a flexible approach and finding opportunities within what is already there. He also reflects on the importance of telling the stories held within these places, and giving future generations the opportunity to experience and connect with them.

Be sure to check out ReWoven.org as it is a fantastic resource for sharing adaptive reuse projects and initiatives across the globe. The link is in our bio! đź”—

A few weeks ago, Matt joined one of The City of Edinburgh Council and Glasgow City Council’s Urbanism Talks to share the story of Castlefield Viaduct - from its industrial heritage and years of disuse to its transformation into a free-to-access urban park.

Matt shared the story behind the project, from the initial community engagement and pilot scheme through to plans for the next phase, and how the project creates value in a number of ways, from social value and access to nature, to biodiversity, sustainability, well being and the wider regeneration of the area.

He also shared some of the lessons we’ve taken from the process, including the value of testing ideas, taking a phased approach, working collaboratively and finding new potential in infrastructure that already exists.

There were some great questions and discussions around how these ideas can be applied more widely to cities, particularly how we can reuse existing infrastructure to create greener, more connected and more inclusive urban environments.

Thanks to the City of Edinburgh Council and Glasgow City Council for inviting Matt to share the project, and to everyone who joined the conversation!

We were excited to receive our copy of RIBAJ this week, and to read this great article about adaptive reuse. Featuring highlights from the event hosted by RIBAJ and aluprof earlier this summer, it explores how buildings can be repurposed for modern use, and the various challenges that come with it. Lorraine contributed some great insights into the process behind our transformation of Bodmin Jail, so it’s well worth a read! 📖

A big thank you to RIBAJ for the feature and for having us at the event earlier this year!

We’re delighted to welcome Tess to the team as a Part II Architectural Assistant!
 
Tess joins us with experience across a wide range of project types and RIBA work stages, having worked on residential, healthcare and office retrofit projects. She completed her MA in Architecture at the Royal College of Art, where her research explored the intersection of architecture, colonialism and the climate crisis.
 
Her work is driven by a passion for unlocking the social and environmental potential of existing buildings through low-impact, regenerative and socially responsive design. Her undergraduate project was nominated for the AJ Student Prize, and she was awarded the Royal College of Art Dean’s Citizen Student Prize in recognition of her contribution to the RCA community.
 
Outside the studio, Tessnim enjoys hiking and videography.
 
Welcome to the team, Tess!

A fantastic day spent with the whole team at Haynes Park, where we enjoyed a tour of the site, walked the grounds and had a great discussion with Simon from Smith and Wallwork Engineers, who gave the team valuable insight into the structural engineering behind the project.

It was a great opportunity to see the design taking shape, gain a greater appreciation of the construction process, and experience the scale of the works currently underway.

Some of the latest milestones include:
• The 650m-long ring beam is progressing well.
• Reinforcement of the buttress plinths is taking shape, which will support the impressive 162m clear-span roof dome.
• Steel shuttering for the plinths has now arrived, with the first plinth due to be cast in the coming weeks.
• Around 1km of kerbing for the outer walkway is currently being installed.

A huge thank you to our client for their hospitality and for taking the time to show us around the site, and to Simon for sharing his expertise with the team. It was a great day to spend together, and we’re looking forward to seeing the project continue to progress over the coming months!

Lena brings a strong background in architectural design, computational methods and digital technologies. She studied Architectural Design and Technology at Cardiff Metropolitan University, completed her MA in Architecture at the University of Westminster, and most recently earned an MSc in Computational Methods in Architecture at Cardiff University.

Her work explores the intersection of culture, memory and technology, with a particular interest in parametric design, biomimicry and generative processes. She is passionate about how emerging digital tools can shape architecture at both building and urban scales, with research spanning collective memory, cultural identity, placemaking, algorithmic growth systems, digital fabrication and design automation.

Outside the studio, Lena enjoys travelling, photography and exploring the arts.

Please join us in giving Lena a warm welcome - we’re excited to have her on the team! 💫
