  • Finished inside and out in timber and supported with a timber structure, this project was designed to be self-built by the cabinet maker client (one half of @wg_studios_london )
.
MASH were on board throughout the project as planning & design consultants and, occasionally, as an extra pair of hands on site.

  • The intensity with which they're used, their technical requirements and their compact size mean bathrooms always present a particularly rewarding design challenge. We like to make it harder for ourselves (and our contractors) by using unusual materials and getting obsessive with grout lines.

  • 3/3 A low roofline calls for inventive use of vertical space. The two first floor bedrooms sit over plant and utility. The walkway that connects them hugs the centre of the plan for headroom. Beneath it, multi use pieces of furniture/staircase/storage serve the (almost) double height living spaces around them.

  • 2/3 Interior sketches of our Guernsey project, where we're dismantling the existing internal floors and walls and using the pieces to make a home.
.
A narrow first floor walkway (built from reconfigured floor joists) sails over the kitchen and widens at either end to form the two bedrooms in the eaves. Voids beside the walkway aid visual and acoustic connection between the ground floor living spaces and the first floor. They also frame key views out into the landscape.

  • 1/3 Take it apart and use the same pieces to make something better. For millenia this was the default way to construct. In the last 100 years we have forgotten how to do it well. Our industry is having to re-learn in order to tackle the climate crisis.
.
Our project in Guernsey begins with an inventory of components already embedded in the building. Leaving the outer shell largely untouched, how can we rearrange the steel beams, concrete blocks and timber joists to transform this under-used, introspective outbuilding into a home that serves a working family and embraces its natural context?

  • Sketch views for a listed building extension and restoration on the River Cam. A repeating rhythm of vertical lines runs through three horizontal bands: plinth, windows and parapet.
.
At different points along the facade the plinth steps up to or away from the edge of the roof above to create shelter externally and space to settle internally.

  • A peek inside the fragment model from our previous post.
.
Concealed internal openable windows, washes of top light, winding staircases and steeply sloping walls make for a sculptural addition to the character-filled cluster of existing historic buildings.

  • A fragment model for a secretive study tower perched above a curvaceous timber-lined entrance.
.
This is one piece of the puzzle in our wide-ranging proposals for the renovation and consolidation of a cluster of grade II listed residential buildings on the banks of the River Cam.
