		<title>Whitechapel Art Gallery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We were briefed to modernize the Whitechapel’s back of house, carrying new identity into these spaces in fresh and playful ways. The desire for soft, organic materials and low embodied energy led to the sourcing of a reclaimed gymnasium floor, re-laid throughout with the original sports markings left intact.

The kitchen allows informal lunches as well [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vicco’s Tower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Conceptually this project frames nature in the city. It is a lightweight timber tower on an asymmetric steel stiletto.

Vicco’s Tower frames specific views and creates particular qualities of light in each space.  From the study, a ‘panorama’ window frames the garden as a landscape. A double height vertical glass slot shows a London Plane [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baumhaus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Working with Dewhurst Macfarlane, David Bennett and Peter Deer Associates, we recently developed a GGBS concrete structure with a self finished interior to create thermal flywheel. Adjustable vertical louvres protect the exposed west façade from over heating, water is harvested for use in the garden and an airsource heat pump works with southfacing solar panels [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Green House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This was one of our first projects and still one of our favourites.
