Our proposals for rearranging Eastbourne’s Towner Gallery have been submitted for Arts Council England capital funding. Enlarging the foyer will create a more welcoming entrance space connected to a cinema cafe, whilst also improving the arrangement of the studio spaces to suit their future programme. M&W will work on integrated artist commissions for the project with two significant artists yet to be selected.

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.

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.”

Featured in the January - February issue of Architecture Today with beautiful new photos by Timothy Soar.
