We were delighted to attend the ceremony on Saturday at which the Archbishop of York Bestowed Minister status on Holy Trinity Church in Hull.
This honour was in recognition of the church’s inspiring regeneration, physically and spiritually, and the exciting progress of the church’s £4.5m development project.
Phase 1 of the work to reorder the public square and churchyard has been completed and we are now working on Phase 2 which includes reordering of the Nave to provide a flexible space with new underfloor heating as well as improvements to service accommodation at the east end. Further phases will provide a new café and better toilet facilities.

We had a great time working with Arup and Leeds-based Cafe 164 creating a pop-up allotment using our MassBespoke™ system.

We are proud to be working with Calder Valley Community Land Trust in Hebden Bridge to design new low-energy housing for affordable rent. This location was previously home to hundreds of local workers living in dense terraces of 3 and 4 storey houses on a steeply sloping site, typical to the topography of the Calder Valley. Delighted that CVCLT would like to reinstate housing in this location, and the old High Street. Our design optimises plan depth and orientation for passive solar benefit and the landscaping strategy will alleviate flood risk. We are designing low-impact, low-energy, affordable & beautiful homes!
For the first time practicing professionals are gathering to explore research embedded in their practice.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to present a paper ‘The Reluctant Supply Chain’ based on the Innovate UK funded research into digitising the supply chain and the way this new knowledge is impacting on our practice.
You can view the full conference schedule here and more information about the event is available on the University of Reading’s website.
We are delighted that Leeds Station South Link received a Commendation in the Innovation category at the Leeds Architecture Awards 2016.

The scaffolding has been removed to the primary elevation on Princess Street, Halifax. The stonework is looking good and the weather’s a lot better than our original render!
