Heathlands School - AJ Building Study

Heathlands School Building Study in the Architects’ Journal.

“Heathlands School’s new block incorporates many subtle features that can be implemented in design not just for deaf people but for the sake of offering a wider scale of inclusion. They could easily read solely as aesthetic flair to the untrained eye. But in its quiet style the architecture here reconciles both inclusivity and aesthetics in an earnest and honest support to the senses.”

Architects’ Journal Opinion Piece

Brian’s article for the Architects’ Journal, discussing how we design purposeful space in student housing. Many students will be living away from home for the first time, maybe living abroad for the first time. The sense of comfort and belonging they get from their surroundings will play a huge part in defining their student experience, and by extension, their personal and professional future. When designing these projects we have a duty of care to create spaces that are welcoming, safe and engaging for everyone.

Mandrake wins Architecture Today Award 2023

The Architecture Today Awards celebrate buildings which have stood the test of time; all the finalists have been in use for at least three years and demonstrate a strong track record for delivering on their environmental, functional, community and cultural ambitions. The judges said: “This is a project that has adapted, chameleon-like, to changes in use; from production studios to boutique hotel. More astonishing still, each of these incarnations have been carried off with effortless aplomb.”
