Why build a new building when you can reuse what is already there? #reuse #retrofit #climateemergency #architecture #priority #cop26 https://vhh.co.uk/news/reusing-existing-buildings-to-solve-the-climate-emergency/

Last week our newest completed project at @HoultonSchool opened its doors. We are incredibly proud of our part in this complex and rewarding project for Urban & Civic, which included transforming the listed Radio Station Rugby building into part of a highly efficient school

We are excited to have been awarded a place on the Architect Design Services Framework @lhcprocurement @lbSouthwark. It was refreshing to experience a local govt. procurement process so focused on good design and we look forward to the chance to be part of their inspiring plans

Delighted that we have achieved Acclaim SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) accreditation through @constructline - demonstrating how we work hard to ensure our projects, processes & practice are safe & manage risk effectively #healthandsafety #ssip #accredited #riskmanagement

#wednesdaywisdom Let the light in! We love natural light; a happiness boosting, vitamin-rich resource & free! Designing sustainable buildings means harnessing as much natural resource as possible. Rooflights are a great way to do this

Great being part of the ongoing study to map #waste management in #Essex at @FPGSouthend. Our visitor centre at #thurrockthamesidenaturepark set on a former landfill site employs #moveablearchitecture design strategies to account for ground settling https://www.fpg.org.uk/event/800000-tonnes-talking-rubbish/

Partner Josh joined the crowd @LETI_London climate emergency design guide launch @NLA on Monday, including @thomas_etude who urged everyone to respond to the Government’s woeful proposals for #PartL 2020 which would be devastating for the #climateemergency https://www.leti.london/part-l

We thoroughly enjoyed the launch of excellent new book on designing schools for high-density by @hstarchitect at @RIBA_London which features our New Ark at @stbenedicts. We need new approaches for a rapidly advancing sector #education #learning #knowledge
