Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Archello Awards.
I had the great privilege of being on the judging panel and it was terrific to see such wonderful work. Well done to everyone who submitted on creating such fantastic projects.
And congratulations to Martijn and his team for organising!
It’s lovely to be in Architectural Digest’s article Shipping Container Homes: The 9 Most Beautiful Around the World. Big thanks to Caitlin Gunther for including us.

Being interviewed for Therese-Marie Hinrichs’s podcast, What’s Next - Rethinking Architecture was a delight and a privilege.
Therese was a wonderfully enjoyable host to chat with and it was great to explore what I’m passionate about. I hope it’s as enjoyable for you to listen to as it was for us to record!
“On a planet of finite resource, if you’re going to make something you’ve got to make sure that thing is great.”
The piece of furniture in Edinburgh that I was thinking about is the Bed Box project by Oli Chapman.
The space standards set out by the Greater London Authority (GLA) that I mention are here on page 49.
The Banshees of Inisherin, which has rekindled my enthusiasm for Guiness, is terrific and well worth a watch.

Just before Christmas we got another lovely book through the post.
It’s a real treat to see our work in print and great to see how much it resonates.
The wonderful team at Monsa have dedicated quite a few pages to our projects Hechingen Studio and Starburst House.
A giant thank you to all involved!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow.
And thank you to all the lovely clients and collaborators that we've worked with in 2020. You're an amazing, fabulous bunch who make the magic happen! We raise a glass to you all 🥂
I don’t manage to post every article about our work, but this one did make me chuckle! (Our starburst house in Joshua Tree isn’t built yet.) All being well construction will commence in the spring.
This home made out of tiny units can be built in any configuration and proves prefab architecture doesn't have to be boring
It's terrific to have an article in Business Insider about The Anywhere House. There have been a couple of articles about the Anywhere House in major publications in the last few weeks and we are now in conversation with people from Israel, Egypt, Sweden, Italy, USA, Panama… the list goes on and on. A giant thank you to Mary Meisenzahl for shining a light on a project that I am very proud of, it’s really appreciated.
Here’s a loop around the Starburst House.
Business Insider have featured our Starburst House this week. If you visit our instagram feed you’ll see a special little animation that we made for the article that shows the house in a new way!
