‘A new loggia’.

Planning approval has been granted for an extension and alterations to a house in Surrey. The idea for the renewal of this house is to add a single wall to the garden side of the house to create a cloister-like loggia; – a large single garden space for leisure, dining and living accessed from the interior of the main body of the house.

Construction works are ongoing at LPW in Leicester. The existing warehouse building has been stripped down to the walls and floors with a new roof added. The ‘scars’ of the past have been filled with new materials and existing steel structures and crane beams are retained to highlight the timeline of the building and its historical use. Completion is due in Autumn 2015.

Planning approval has been gained for 79 apartments and complete renewal of an existing office building in Sutton, South of London. Existing materials are re-used to express tactility and texture. The waffled concrete ceiling structure will be partly exposed, together with the decorated brickwork on the facade and the concrete staircase.

A conversion of a flat into a two-storey maisonette in North London is now complete with a new feature black staircase.

Building materials have a presence that transcend beyond style or a certain period in history. Some materials and buildings last so much longer than the generations of its inhabitants. But most of all, these materials evoke certain emotion, memory and atmosphere – TS
