A cold, wet January evening - perfect conditions for a braai!
We had the pleasure this weekend of visiting one of our projects completed last year to sample some great barbecued steak and lamb. For a moment in this all weather braai (bbq) house in Surrey it almost felt like summer....
Thanks Jacques and Zelda for a great evening!
This December saw the start of our first international collaborative project. We will be working alongside Italian architect, Alberto Giulio Gioia on a unique residential project in West London. More images and details to come in 2014...
It's been a busy summer, with some great new projects and here is one of the first fruits to near completion, or ripen, to follow the analogy through. This is an all year, all weather entertaining space and BBQ area, ideal for hosting friends in the finest of summer conditions, typically wet bank holidays or freezing winters.

You just need to add Mickey Mouse and some dancing broomsticks.... In all seriousness this is looking very interesting and we're looking forward to seeing it come to fruition. The project is led by Hadid and Patrick Schumacher and is an investigation in tensile structures, using pleated metal.
They said this:
“The more our design research and work evolved on the basis of algorithmic form generation, the more we learned to appreciate the work of pioneers like Frei Otto who had achieved the most elegant designs on the basis of material-structural form-finding processes.”
