Old Church Street has a rich heritage of buildings built of their time. The principal street facing elevation is both a response to its context and an expression of the internal functions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542116661871-5QE5O1FQDCJ1N4P8778U/OldChurchStreet_HR_US-8-1500px.jpg Old Church Street The materials used are principally bronze and brick. The use of brick draws on the language of the street and its inherently rough nature is contrasted by the bronze, which is used to express details throughout the building in a precious and precise manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542116693984-3P34ZMXDF1GJUMI9KTPD/OldChurchStreet_HR_US-6-1500px.jpg Old Church Street The use of bronze continues into the interior, where the stairs and floor plate at ground level are pulled back from the boundary walls to give a sense of space and legibility at the moment of entry with long views through the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1529060151444-VA7LCB8FYQIWE5NJBC9Y/TDO-1104---BenBlossom-11-640x640.jpg Old Church Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542116715855-EMDPMLS32IKP7IY1XHP0/Stair+detail+_01-34027-1000px.jpg Old Church Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542116739009-G4RTIL59H83DJ5XPVSS4/OldChurchStreet_HR_US-33-1500px.jpg Old Church Street The staircase is cantilevered from the floor plates, allowing natural daylight to travel from a skylight at the top of the house deep into the lower ground level kitchen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1666021444066-LL20REXA1OC3NLQUSTB0/1500-PX-OCS.gif Old Church Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542116763314-M8E1Q67NK3JMRDY69GSQ/Kitchen_03-34371-1000px.jpg Old Church Street - More about the project Dezeen TDO pairs brick and bronze for contemporary house on a historic London street BD Online Old Church Street Wins Approval The Telegraph The standout houses shortlisted for the RIBA London 2015 Awards The Telegraph A Beacon Of Modernity Photography by Ben Blossom https://www.tdoarchitecture.com/projects daily 0.75 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1715698102337-YY1EVX8L8LPXQ06E5YUA/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+003+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX+Landing.jpg New-works https://www.tdoarchitecture.com/triagonal-house daily 0.75 2019-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1589563005679-YZ866FQASU107WG7NE6V/1612_Trussley+Road_View+02-1500px.jpg Triagonal House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542198935555-WTNYLT9VEA6TA9OAY7RV/1612_Trussley+Road_View+01A-1500px.jpg Triagonal House - Triagonal House Situated on the corner of Trussley Road, on a plot to the rear of 136 Hammersmith Grove, the undeveloped backland site presented great potential but also suffered from tight constraints, including overlooking and proximity to the street and the bordering Conservation Area. Through careful site analysis and dialogue with the client and local authority, TDO was able to meet the client’s brief for a house designed in a contemporary idiom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542199114266-RV359MNQHOHNWEI4LSYJ/1612_Trussley+Road_View+02-1500px.jpg Triagonal House A generously proportioned 3-bed house with abundant outdoor space has been achieved on the constrained site by excavating down, keeping the profile of the house aligned with the surrounding Victorian terraces. The house is expressed as two volumes: three storeys at the entrance, topped with a roof terrace, and two storeys at the rear. The two volumes face inwards into a sunken, south-facing courtyard. A stairwell links the two volumes, and the change in height is dramatised by a playful, sloping, facetted Corten steel roof which runs along the site boundary brick wall. The inward-facing courtyard elevations are fully glazed, and the street elevations are punctured with rhythmically placed windows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542199199854-HO3LANTNIVF4FEIECC1F/Axo+View-1500px.jpg Triagonal House The central courtyard serves three purposes: it brings abundant daylight into the property, allowing reception spaces to be located on the lower floor; it ameliorates overlooking of the adjacent property by orientating views inwards; and it accommodates the tree canopy of a mature, neighbouring sycamore tree which had a tree preservation order on which constrained the massing of the house. Constructed from an in-situ concrete frame with Mystique stock brick elevations that pay tribute to the Victorian terrace vernacular, the house is distinguished by the window reveals, roof terrace planter walls, bike and bin store, and the house’s signature playful roof - are all fabricated in Corten steel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542199324957-OQPWEAF9JA9EZUEC4EKQ/Plan+View-1500px.jpg Triagonal House - More about the project The Architects’ Journal TDO to create 130m² home on garden plot in Hammersmith https://www.tdoarchitecture.com/fab-house daily 0.75 2022-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1589559429478-FJ6AUIDFIP8POGEOWY7H/TDO-FH-0003-6080-1500PX.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115487748-PVF5AOYGR7F8FOC840HK/TDO-FH-0002-1500px.jpg FAB house - Fab House Fab House is a new modular constructed house typology designed for joint venture developers Places for People and Urban Splash. It is the latest architect-designed house typology in the House by Urban Splash portfolio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1529058974055-EG6F55Q9OZ9S501A93UU/1417_02-640x640.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115082032-44QI7HXGBEJ7Y97IVIH4/TDO-FH-0014-1500px.jpg FAB house In Tyneside, a terrace of ten houses has been built on The Plateau of Smith’s Dock in North Shields, the former site of a thriving shipyard which has lay dormant for the past 30 years, and is now being transformed into a vibrant new neighbourhood by Urban Splash and Places for People. The terrace of ten Fab Houses sits in a masterplan alongside a crescent of 24 Town Houses and an 80-unit apartment, the Smokehouses, designed by SimpsonHaugh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115126294-4YGGUQHSYW3NFRZHWC0Z/TDO-FH-0005-1500px.jpg FAB house As Fab House proves, design doesn’t need to be sidelined in modular builds. TDO worked in collaboration with George Clarke to apply smart design strategies to finesse the detailing to create a house typology which is low cost, material efficient, without sacrificing beautiful contemporary living spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115153645-GORDRB5O1DYRZ9HVS1QL/TDO-FH-0034-1500px.jpg FAB house Working in close collaboration with SIG (now Urban Splash Modular) from the outset, TDO looked for ‘free detail’ to expose, to bring character and quality to the interiors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115174356-TIWIUML7EBMF7JSH60BA/TDO-FH-0028-1500px.jpg FAB house For example, the timber ceiling joists in the modular cassettes of the floor plates have been exposed, a strategy which increases floor to ceiling heights to 2.88 metres, whilst ensuring material continuity with the birch-faced plywood staircase, which is treated as a sculptural object inserted into the open-plan reception space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115200741-WO5FQ10OW9QRWLVP4LBP/TDO-FH-0030-1500px.jpg FAB house The birch ply stairwell is top-lit by a skylight, which, combined with floor to ceiling windows in the reception space and master bedroom, floods the interiors with natural light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115293882-UDRD7Y05KJ7RC5DC6QGW/TDO-FH-0032-1500px.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115322729-J0JNR58V5Z1XZ4HS7Z2G/TDO-FH-0017-1500px.jpg FAB house TDO also identified opportunities to make efficiencies in the fabrication process, for example services are concealed in a zone behind the cladding, which can be connected externally on arrival direct from the factory floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115341622-672S3AQXH4Q1NJ3HOE0X/TDO-FH-0019-1500px.jpg FAB house This brings a depth to the cladding giving a sense of weight and permanence to the façade not commonly associated with modular builds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1529059439223-06NIKBFSDP8WNODQMI8V/TDO-FH-0002.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115362903-4VL41I2MP5MBVOAAXVLG/TDO-FH-0006-1500px.jpg FAB house This is emphasised with the specification of dark grey Equitone board, offset by the Corten steel shroud around the porch which creates shelter from the elements whilst referencing the site’s industrial heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115430302-CN83CKST9MJX29F4Z83U/TDO-FH-0036-1500px.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115460891-8RA6WLW7EBR3RZ6X1PNC/TDO-FH-0037-1500px.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1529059057957-K7LEAVL4L4ERDBYZ8193/TDO-FH-0002.jpg FAB house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542115050394-CZM0LDQQFGSOQOKERSK7/TDO-FH-0010-1500px.jpg FAB house - More about the project Building Awards Smith's Dock wins 2019 Offsite Project of the Year Housing Design Awards Shortlisted 2018 Images Publishing Future Homes: Sustainable Innovative Designs, by Avi Friedman The Architects' Journal Fab House - Building Study Blueprint Magazine The architects tackling the housing crisis Dezeen TV presenter George Clarke and TDO unveil terrace of prefabricated Fab Houses ArchDaily Fab House Architecture Today MMC - constraint or opportunity?

We achieved this by expressing the inherent qualities of the modular construction. In the apartment scheme we expressed the supporting steel frame externally and used colour to define an elevational rhythm and the width of each home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542118479061-BZPV1XZH6F7ZVK7TCVJA/Scene+28-1500px.jpg Dove Lane Behind the vertical steel frame strong horizontal emphasis is given between floors, which sets out a primary grid. Behind that are further horizontal and vertical layers. The colour is offset by an off-white, canvas-like cementitious finish to the building, which is diagonally cut to add further detail and depth to the elevation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542118499141-08Y0FCQXFROJFEWERHM9/Scene+23-1500px.jpg Dove Lane The design for the terraced houses learn from our Fab House modular homes delivered for Places for People and Urban Splash. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542118518930-O563X3M4O7G0P1TJFF3O/Scene+14-1500px.jpg Dove Lane The elevational treatment flows from the apartments, and colour is used again to define the extent of each home. The detailing further defines each house as an individual building, which is part of a larger whole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542118574061-SOKJK6IV41RIQTZ4K7TV/Scene+27+NWT-1500px.jpg Dove Lane The masterplan will deliver 230 new homes, 893 sq m of retail space, 1,218 sq m of office space and improved landscaping across the vacant site just off the M32 in St Pauls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1622631403204-G35CK3MVHTX65D3PAPLA/Scene+17-1500px.jpg Dove Lane The proposals were backed by Bristol City Council’s Development Control Committee and planning consent has been granted on this challenging brownfield site. https://www.tdoarchitecture.com/forest-pond-house daily 0.75 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542124170018-OTA9JHPG04WO6K8APFIP/PondHouse-32-1500px.jpg Forest Pond House - Forest Pond House Located in rural Hampshire, the Forest Pond House is both a space for meditation and a children’s den in the woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542124170018-OTA9JHPG04WO6K8APFIP/PondHouse-32-1500px.jpg Forest Pond House - Forest Pond House Located in rural Hampshire, the Forest Pond House is both a space for meditation and a children’s den in the woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542124100990-5DXMYTE5D3X4R3STG66E/PondHouse-38-1500px.jpg Forest Pond House Cantilevering over the bank of a pond at the foot of a family garden, the timber frame structure is finished in plywood, glass and copper and was designed and built by TDO. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b23939796d455993f63a215/5b239b110e2e72064cb49c4f/5b23f027352f53a3b0b622df/1542124067621/PondHouse-32-1500px.jpg Forest Pond House - Forest Pond House Located in rural Hampshire, the Forest Pond House is both a space for meditation and a children’s den in the woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1529060243123-RV1WZ7W1R2T2DO3UNFUT/Pondhouse_front_highres-640x457.jpg Forest Pond House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1542124257592-SQ5I577147Y9N3F0L33P/PondHouse-26-1500px.jpg Forest Pond House The design overlays the two functions to give a single diagram.

and naturally ventilated, with living spaces benefitting from a southerly aspect towards Greenwich and bedrooms looking north towards the River Thames. Each home has generous, and in most cases full-width, balcony space accessed via floor-to-ceiling windows directly from the living space, which gives long views and daylight into the homes.

After running various local businesses, the family is keen to give something back to the local community. For them Jubilee Parade is an emotional as well as a financial investment in their local area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1554368869313-632X1RX7HHJNQWJXHMBZ/1606+South+West+Elevation-1500px.jpg Jubilee Parade This emphasis on giving something back and rejuvenating the streetscape was an important part of the brief for the project. We carefully considered every aspect of the design, taking into account the commercial and residential mix of the area, the local context and character, the effect of this very visible corner site on the surrounding streets, and the potential for the development to kickstart further beneficial changes nearby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1554368871809-5OSQIBJ218P130UBK3L3/1606+Front+Elevation+Drawing_2-1500px.jpg Jubilee Parade The design picks up on the strong vertical and horizontal rhythm created by the herringbone-brick banding, colonnades and glazing of the existing buildings on Jubilee Parade. At the point where the new building meets the old, a strong grid-like frame continues that rhythm, with the building then gradually stepping back and away from the frame. The effect is to soften the elevations as they become more irregular and more informal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1554368872853-MQT79RYD1KDZEKDAOC4K/1606+Vignette+2-1500px.jpg Jubilee Parade This deliberate transition also contributes to the well-thought-out design of the apartments on the first, second and third floors. The stepped frame allows for balconies of different sizes, green roof spaces, interesting layouts, views in different directions and sun at different times of day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1554368872017-8U2C0YKXQK1TS1LCVLDT/1606+Vignette+1-1500px.jpg Jubilee Parade - More about the project The Architect's Journal TDO’s mixed-use scheme in north-east London approved https://www.tdoarchitecture.com/great-suffolk-yard daily 0.75 2023-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1687884092919-D91GTRH4T0GDLHQBS8CL/TDO_GSY_web-2.jpg Great Suffolk Yard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1606152225114-F372OJFORDWY4UZN6CS0/1+TDO_Suffolk+Yard_V1%C2%A9DarcStudio-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard - Great Suffolk Yard Our Great Suffolk Yard project for TLS is a major £18.5 million redevelopment of an inner-city block, which has delivered a new commercial development in Borough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1606152476948-1PMZ5D6IE3EB49F4TX62/6a+TDO_Suffolk+Yard_V5+Pickwick+Street-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard The scheme repurposes the block as a family of buildings to preserve its eclectic character and historic patina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1606152467433-6CX0QE4I5B1SPHC6DMZU/5a+TDO_Suffolk+Yard_V4+Toumlin+Street-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Our design retained, refurbished and extended three of the buildings on the site, complementing them with four new buildings around a central yard to complete the city block. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1606152457143-PQGE0CGJ7XMFL4JZ8L99/4a+TDO_Suffolk+Yard_V2+Toumlin+Corner-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Built around a central yard, the eclectic existing buildings – ranging between two and three storeys – reflect the industrial history of the wider area: tall warehouses assembled closely around a canyon-like shared yard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1606152273246-39OHIKDG0LZUHRK764M3/2+TDO_Suffolk+Yard_V3_E%C2%A9DarcStudio-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard To inform the design we conducted extensive archive, library and physical site research and worked closely with Southwark’s planning officers over two pre-applications to develop a scheme which is embedded in the neighbourhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1589383493058-32R5JR56QS6F61CJ25P4/3+1867_Courtyard+Aerial+Render%C2%A9TDO-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard The client brief required a contemporary commercial development which offered the flexibility to be let either as a single building or to multiple tenants, with a 1:6 or 1:8 capacity. This presented a tension between the requirement of the plan – to provide connected open plan floor space – and the elevations and character of the site, which called for conserving a family of distinct buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1589966960930-P28H7UW115C7FLG6MGH9/GSY+-+HD+720p.gif Great Suffolk Yard Our strategy was to divide the plot into key massing elements, rebuilding it holistically through a series of new buildings, rooftop extensions and roof terraces. Floorplates have been designed to create a clear sequence of spaces across the site, so that the buildings can be occupied by a single tenant or multiple tenants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1589383502062-VWEE1QUMIUOG9HBMK9IG/5+TDO+GSY+Courtyard+Elevations+Clean+-+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard The existing central yard space at the heart of the scheme can be accessed at both ends of the site, from Great Suffolk Street and Pickwick Street. Previously under-utilised as a car park, it is a valuable amenity bringing in daylight and natural ventilation to the workspaces. It has been completely transformed with a network of exterior metal walkways – redolent of Shad Thames’ walkways – scaling the perimeter buildings and opening up routes into the yard from all levels of the buildings, animating the yard and creating a sense of community across the site. Served by a ground floor café, the yard is a dynamic communal space at the hub of the development, complementing the new roof terraces which provide spaces for retreat and reflection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1688727265986-FP68DCUPP3QXH34TB6PJ/6+Material+collage-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Internally, the original buildings will be stripped back to their core, exposing the brick walls and increasing daylight levels. Emulating a raw, industrial aesthetic, services will be exposed throughout.

It is the first development for Skyroom, a trailblazing development company established to unlock redundant rooftop spaces by building upwards, not outwards, to densify the city without contributing to urban sprawl or sacrificing the city’s precious green spaces. The aim of Skyroom is to create high-quality affordable homes for London’s keyworkers, the unsung heroes serving the city, who are increasingly being pushed to the city periphery due to escalating house prices. Modern methods of construction enable high-quality, flexible, and scaleable housing which can be delivered at speed in central locations with minimal disruption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1606150215163-11BVH0HC1TOBNMWC2QDY/Skyroom_St+James%27s+Road%2C+SE1_North+View.jpg-1500PX.jpg Skyroom - St James's Rd Working closely with Skyroom over several years, we designed a series of dimensionally consistent components which will be precision-manufactured in state-of-the-art factories in the north of England.

The project will adapt four empty arches on three sites: Ewer Street, Redcross Way and St James’s Road. These sites have been selected as ‘test bed’ arches in Bankside and Bermondsey for a range of uses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1613037185595-LQQ84Q3Z75YK2F5DLVC7/5+LOWLINE+SITES-A-+1500PX.jpg Low Line arches The Low Line is a network of creative and cultural nodes that follows the Victorian railway viaducts running through Bankside, London Bridge and Bermondsey. Steered by a group of partners – Better Bankside, Team London Bridge, Blue Bermondsey, Southwark Council and The Arch Company – who are reimagining the uses of the railway viaduct in partnership with local stakeholders, the Low Line will ensure that investment in the arches and adjacent sites contributes positively to the neighbourhoods and communities it spans. The Low Line is supported with £1 million funding from the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund to diversify the occupier mix in the arches, connect local communities and contribute to a greener, resilient city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973538973-QTVD6U7JG58PJVIBZAQ3/1500PX-Approved+Scheme+by+TDO+for+Ewer+Street+-+playspace.jpg Low Line arches The design for the three locations needed to be able to accommodate either internal divisions to achieve distinct accommodation zones (workspaces, meeting rooms, catering or washrooms), or voids to host a variety of uses (including theatre, film, dance, exercise). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973564022-PCHEG43C28HYT852MYC3/1500PX-Approved+Scheme+by+TDO+for+Recross+Way+-+interior.jpg Low Line arches We responded to the brief with a design concept which explores the powerful sense of ‘remaining space’ under the Victorian viaducts. Rather than fill the envelope of the arch with a fit-out, the design creates discrete spaces within spaces by placing prefabricated galvanised steel Nissen sheds in the volumes under the arches. Utilising pre-existing technology and a single material will unify the arches and allow for adaptation to different requirements. The sheds are demountable and transferable, cost- efficient and recyclable. Nissen sheds were borne out of demand for accommodation during World War I, and have also been used for industry and agriculture, attesting to their flexibility and economy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973588826-CIAII6NX4DUKJWW95BT2/1500PX-Proposed+Scheme+by+TDO+for+St+James%27s+Road+-+interior.jpg Low Line arches The prefabricated sheds will arrive as a series of components, ensuring they can be assembled in the arches while maintaining as much off-site manufacture as possible, reducing programme time and disruption to occupants and neighbours. The sheds will sit on precast concrete footings designed to be relocatable. Galvanised steel will also be used for secondary elements such as entry doors, glazing surrounds and exposed services, harmonising the spaces. The geometry of the sheds reflects the form of the arches, creating dynamic curving voids between them, which can be used for lighting, services distribution, ventilation and circulation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973496159-C4E797FXYFW4SQ40M2DJ/1500PX-Approved+Scheme+by+TDO+for+Ewer+Street+-+playspace.jpg Low Line arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973520092-SK6YA9JJGPKME1CS42K9/Ewer.gif Low Line arches - Ewer Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973911610-14GSY5W2MNXWDOVAP1BS/1500PX-Approved+Scheme+by+TDO+for+Ewer+Street+-+axo.jpg Low Line arches The arches at Ewer Street will house Better Bankside functions and a community space. The Better Bankside cleaning team and their vehicles will be based here alongside a new Green Logistics Centre, which allows local businesses to reduce deliveries and therefore vehicle journeys in the area by placing fewer, larger orders for goods, which are held in the arch and distributed by the team in electric vehicles as and when they are required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1612973535874-FPYCRVWWIML732PUZ43Y/1500PX-Approved+Scheme+by+TDO+for+Ewer+Street+-+exterior.jpg Low Line arches A bike hub and flexible community space will also be housed in the arch.

At Redcross Way it has created flexible space for community use. At Ewer Street it has delivered a cycle hub and sustainable support services for local businesses including a last mile cycle delivery centre. A third potential project in Bermondsey is designed to create suitable workspaces for local micro-enterprises otherwise priced out of nearby commercial lets. The projects demonstrate a low-cost and efficient design approach to repurpose vacant railway arches in other urban locations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654532625615-XOMN5RGD5G0OBM39ZUOF/2+TDO_Bermondsey+3-+1500PX.jpg Low Line Arches The Low Line is steered by a group of partners – Better Bankside, Team London Bridge, Blue Bermondsey, Southwark Council and The Arch Company – who are reimagining the uses of the railway viaduct in partnership with local stakeholders. The Low Line will ensure that investment in the arches and adjacent sites contributes positively to the neighbourhoods and communities it spans. The initiative is supported with £1 million funding from the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund to diversify the occupier mix in the arches, connect local communities and contribute to a greener, resilient city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654532614934-38IO4FRRHZZ52LQZ77FR/1+TDO_Bermondsey+2-+1500PX.jpg Low Line Arches We were appointed by the Low Line partners in March 2020 to develop and implement creative solutions for the adaptive reuse of empty railway arches as test bed sites for a range of uses. As spaces are used in new ways, the ambition is for these practical design solutions to retain and celebrate the historic character of the arches, enhancing existing uses and taking advantage of the significant thermal mass of the arches, while providing a benchmark for the regeneration of other arches in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1665756371883-7F29TUAJEA1AIDQU7R0L/1500-PX+Diagram.gif Low Line Arches We responded to the brief with a design concept which explores the powerful sense of ‘remaining space’ under the Victorian viaducts. The design creates discrete spaces-within-spaces by placing prefabricated galvanised steel Nissen sheds of differing sizes in the volumes under the arches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1665756367302-YXD35AKCGDNN5AJCA64Y/1500-PX+LL-materials.jpg Low Line Arches Utilising pre-existing technology and a single material unifies the arches and allows for adaptation to different requirements. The sheds are demountable and transferable, cost-efficient and recyclable. Nissen sheds were borne out of demand for accommodation during World War I, and have also been used for industry and agriculture, attesting to their flexibility and economy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654533647027-X6WQ8N4KBBKPBSX68ZMC/EwerStreet-8.jpg Low Line Arches The prefabricated galvanised steel Nissen sheds have now been installed in two Bankside arches, as a cost effective alternative to filling the envelope of the arch with a fit-out with no loss of usable space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654533851293-MKL80V83PPX7GHQEDP1K/1500PX-Approved+Scheme+by+TDO+for+Recross+Way+-+axo.jpg Low Line Arches The adapted spaces are now able to accommodate workspaces, meeting rooms, catering or washrooms, or be left as voids to host a variety of uses, including performing and visual arts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654533465298-C22F7F8SNCHNUO5T4WNO/7e103662-0d4c-b2de-2975-02e705318fef.gif Low Line Arches The sheds arrived as components and were assembled in the arches, with as much off-site manufacture as possible beforehand, reducing programme time and disruption to occupants and neighbours. They sit on precast concrete footings designed to be relocatable. Galvanised steel has also been used for secondary elements such as entry doors, glazing surrounds and exposed services, harmonising the spaces. The geometry of the sheds reflects the form of the arches, creating dynamic curving voids between them, which can be used for lighting, services distribution, ventilation and circulation. The contrast between the rough Victorian brick and corrugated galvanised metal is striking. The project has also involved exposing and cleaning as much of the original brickwork in the arches as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534069447-79SAHV1WN6LE0COI1C5I/EwerStreet-8.jpg Low Line Arches - Ewer Street arches The arches at Ewer Street house the logistical functions of local Business Improvement District, Better Bankside, and a community space including a bike hub. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534198579-888UMHS166HMFXLUJ616/EwerStreet-14.jpg Low Line Arches The Better Bankside cleaning team and their vehicles are based here alongside a new Green Logistics Centre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534243812-K1HPTGEPNWSHF73LMU2V/EwerStreet-16.jpg Low Line Arches The Green Logistics Centre allows local businesses to reduce deliveries and therefore vehicle journeys in the area by placing fewer, larger orders for goods, which are held in the arch and distributed by the team in electric vehicles as and when they are required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534470657-LT10L5LEN9IWFLVOFX09/IMG_7614+3.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534504768-XK0ALH0QFJ3ILLCCPGGZ/EwerStreet-6.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534542517-RM63CDXYUS7HMS9T0EXB/EwerStreet-4.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534651028-WLBZBZD5OIOSYTWT436T/EwerStreet-12.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1665753217520-2VR88OMF5HJUA16OGJH9/1500PX-02+Low+Line+Ewer+Street+Location.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1665753205490-OQUSRO5U77H1VV2XIXP8/Ewer.gif Low Line Arches Ewer Street plans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534884019-5IM9HMVVJS4CU75H4194/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-20.jpg Low Line Arches - Redcross Way arch At Redcross Way the brief called for a singular cultural hub, which could accommodate functions varying from performances, exhibitions, and educational space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534797998-IZLO7B5GR058S2EOK78J/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-18.jpg Low Line Arches The proposal differed from the solution at Ewer Street by introducing a single, large enclosure with the ancillary services (lighting, drainage etc) surrounding it and suspended in the curved void between arch and shed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534828071-IODDYL39MPQCQAZ4VUBO/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-34.jpg Low Line Arches The space remaining around the shed provides an entrance lobby to the auditorium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534856593-BJ3GTW0PFU6NHPKH6MTF/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-31.jpg Low Line Arches Power, data, and lighting supplies within the space are flexible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534960847-QPRMH2ZUL5VH2XM63NLT/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-2.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534996793-P9AAWB3WNJGMJN1CAK2D/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-12.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654535033445-MXLE8VV7QY3IDO4L3VGD/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-14.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654535107941-P63WIDG7WN36QV73HPK9/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-23.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654534943313-YQI1V7W47NXE3L9QMGDL/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-9.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654535065057-LUTXGF8GL62AM9BXB0QZ/220526_TDO_LOWLINE_LOWRES-19.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1665753333166-K9K8TSLIB3BJWIP5B4EE/1500PX-04+Low+Line+Redcross+Way+Location.jpg Low Line Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1665753318363-F0AITGJ8VAYL0KHDNTFH/Redcross.gif Low Line Arches Redcross Way plans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1654605937473-KVCWVSVADY8RGTI1EFWF/1500PX-Proposed+Scheme+by+TDO+for+St+James%27s+Road+-+axo.jpg Low Line Arches - St James's Road arches The brief at St James’s Road is to provide flexible workspace for local micro enterprises and SMEs.

Human Nature are sustainable development specialists. The ambition for the Phoenix project is to deliver a net regenerative and exponentially sustainable development. Building in mass timber is an important element of this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1678808744355-WSNI6JCWLMQGIV1WM18F/Aerial+view+of+the+Phoenix+%28Human+Nature+with+Periscope%29+1500PX.jpg The Phoenix The project will draw on the history and townscape of Lewes to propose a thriving new extension to the town. We are excited to be one of 13 different architects working on the scheme. This variety in design approaches will bring diversity to the character of the neighbourhood, which comprises 18 different housing blocks and an array of community facilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1678802205576-06I9IJRCAR8J211ELMBQ/Image+2+Phoenix_Public+Exhibition_Physical+Model_Photos_Page_05+1500PX.jpg The Phoenix The Phoenix will be created as a mass timber and hempcrete build, powered by a 100% renewable energy grid. It will be a community focused, walkable neighbourhood which will re-connect Lewes to the river, provide community spaces including co-working space and a community canteen, public squares, low parking, dense urban grain, and a riverside walk along a new flood wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1678802210819-QF2WNURRMMZN22C6DVNA/Image+3+MMC+Axo-08+1500PX.jpg The Phoenix The Phoenix will be particularly notable for its use of structural timber, which will be used on all new buildings on the site (with the exception of the Mobility Hub). Working within the challenging regulatory and insurance environment, engineered timber offers the structural strength of ‘traditional’ materials, such as concrete and steel, but with lower embodied carbon. In fact, timber sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests is regenerative – it sequesters carbon, giving timber structure buildings a negative carbon impact overall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1678809063181-32H1B5GTBJ3AA5P010YK/Image-4-gif-1500PX.gif The Phoenix Our initial work on the project has drawn on our experience with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). Collaborating closely with Human Nature through a series of workshops the 7 categories of MMC were considered to arrive at a customised methodology that will facilitate the project ambitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1678809088049-65IN6S4AR5MSCHFSJ5EE/Image-5-gif-1500PX.gif The Phoenix The conclusion of this work is the project’s MMC strategy, which balances this need for standardisation and customisation, off-site and on-site materials, availability of labour, mass timber and locally available timber. We also worked with the key Human Nature principle of Raw and Craft, which is particularly applicable to this exercise. Raw: Well made, strong, resilient, robust homes built with low carbon materials enabling constant adaptation.

While the facade cassettes are built on-site, their manufacture would still be an ‘off-site’ process occurring in a controlled environment adjacent to the construction site. This approach balances the benefits of a precision engineered, carbon sequestering, mass timber frame; with the benefits of local labour, local timber, infinite diversity of appearance and craft, and a handmade finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1667234626776-W7DRTGA4S53ORRP40VPU/1500PX+Cassette+Axo.png The Phoenix - More about the project The Architects’ Journal Who’s who of architects reveal plans for 700-home timber scheme in Lewes The Times Lewes timber building scheme offers glimpse of net-zero future Building Design Former Greenpeace directors lodge plans for ‘Europe’s most regenerative development’ Image credits: Image 1 & 2 Periscope with Human Nature Image 3 Human Nature Others TDO https://www.tdoarchitecture.com/great-suffolk-yard-1 daily 0.75 2023-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689851180803-O825TXNZHI1COBGL8MON/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+002+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1693578241559-BXD8QKFUMRFJ2V9Y45US/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+001+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard - Great Suffolk Yard Our Great Suffolk Yard project is a 7,623m2 commercial development in the Liberty of the Mint Conservation Area in Borough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1688998804756-ZJJ2CATLEFXTHZ8SQM17/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+003+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard The retrofit and new-build project reinstates the warehouse and yard typology that characterises the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1693579075746-O92OHY1SEBPO8O0SP3ZY/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+015+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Three existing buildings and four new buildings enclose a central yard to create a thriving new multi-aspect workspace peppered with terraces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689074710296-H9X2Z6XPEOYQJ0LUG8OX/7+001_Site+Plan+GSY-1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Site location The site as found represented a piece of Southwark’s rich and layered history.

Whereas other schemes for the site had sought to demolish the existing fabric and build a single, large building on the site, our scheme embraced the canyon-like yards typical of the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1688999686251-99GU9TL6DN2LN2ZZEO3M/TDO+Great+Suffolk+Yard+Unfolded+Courtyard+Drawing+1500+PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Unfolded elevations and yard study The yard condition allowed us to create a unique workplace focused on wellbeing, outdoor terraces, cross ventilation, and multi-aspect spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1688999699823-RKH33QM1JCSHJS0HHUE1/TDO+Great+Suffolk+Yard+Material+Collage+1500+PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Proposed materials The site is characterised by a mixture of brick types and tones, stone details, concrete banding, framing and lintels, timber doors, metal windows, corrugated metal roofing and tiled roofs. We drew on the history of the site by exposing the existing fabric and introducing robust, complimentary face finished materials that can stand the test of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689852789643-Y2IRT6E1ZCMITZ2UCF47/TDO-Great-Suffolk-Street-Toulmin-elevation-before-and-after.gif Great Suffolk Yard Toulmin Street, as found and as built Site surveys, context studies and archival research informed our proposals, which balance retention, refurbishment and new build across the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1688999859328-0VQJ375J6IKG78BRY5KF/4+GSY+-+HD+720p.gif Great Suffolk Yard Existing and proposed massing models The proposals realise the site’s potential while respecting the social history and local yard typology.

This presented a tension between the requirement of the plan – to provide connected open plan floor space – and the elevations and character of the site, which called for conserving a family of distinct buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689008316827-7ZI8JR0E79CK7Z5KJ4RD/image-asset.jpeg Great Suffolk Yard Great Suffolk Yard overview Our strategy has been to divide the plot into key massing elements, rebuilding it holistically through a series of new buildings, rooftop extensions and roof terraces. The result is a sense of spatial generosity, vistas and connectedness that unifies the buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689067169555-FRM6R32F84VJ9XECOW1N/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+004+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard Great Suffolk Street elevation The scheme is made up of a family of existing and new buildings facing the surrounding streets, and inwards to the central yard. The Town House on Great Suffolk Street, central on the image above, is the last of a 19th-century terrace that stood on the site, which has gained a mansard roof extension. Around it are the Sea Building, Carriageway and Engineering buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689000611998-AY8KJ2MXTJ349D485HNQ/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+001+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard View north along Great Suffolk Street The red brick Carriageway Building on Great Suffolk Street is a new building that draws on the industrial language of the area and creates a purposeful entrance from the street to the central courtyard. Its neighbour, the buff brick Engineering Building, is a new building with heights ranging from three to six storeys, and an outdoor terrace linking to the front-facing Great Suffolk Street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b23939796d455993f63a215/1689065569291-HPOFA9C33VD7U675QUQF/TDO+GreatSuffolkYard+006+highres+TaranWilkhu+1500PX.jpg Great Suffolk Yard View south along Great Suffolk Street The Sea Building is an an 800m2 corner building which has been extended by two storeys.
