Circular windows on our Purple House in Catford….the project completed earlier this year extends the existing house to the limits of permitted development. More information here. The purple pop-out accommodates the double height kitchen, from which we stole a sneaky view to the neighbour courtesy of the porthole windows.

Planning permission has been submitted for a new build house near the Thames. The house is designed to capitalise on views toward the Thames which are just visible from the upper levels of the site. The building mass is developed with respect to achieving this view whilst mediating between the various scales of buildings that surround the site. The building will be constructed out of a highly insulated SIPS panelling system, and clad with fibre cement and photo-voltaic panels to achieve a passive house performance in terms of heat loss and low carbon on-site energy consumption
Working with Studio Prelude and sound artist Andy Pink, A-Zero was selected as one of five winning submissions for installations in the proposed tidal lagoon in Swansea, Wales. The lagoon, due for completion in 2018, will use Swansea’s significant tidal swing to generate hydro-electrical power. The proposal is to accommodate a series of floating misting water jets moored parallel to the promenade which encompasses the lagoon. The water mists, which are activated during times of energy generation only, will rise and fall according to water levels in the lagoon, and according to the 25 hour cycle of the tides. This dynamic of changing height of water, changing weather and changing time of energy production will constantly vary the effect, with the mist sometimes blown thin, sometimes forming a fog behind the shelter of the pier. A-Zero worked with the design team to explore how the installation could work best with its immediate environment to achieve and control these effects.
