Thanks for having me Frome!

July 5, 2017

Thanks to everyone who came along for my talk last night at the very beautiful Rook Lane Arts in Frome for their Architecture Club Presents series. It was great to meet people before and afterwards to talk about some of the themes I discussed. The talk was a great chance to reflect on the preoccupations of our practice - working on community focused architectural projects in difficult sites such as in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Green Belt, SSSi's, Marine Conservation Areas, Conservation areas, back gardens, and with Listed Buildings. I talked about the work we have been undertaking in Bristol and the South West of England to enable and facilitate Community Land Trusts (CLTs), Cohousing groups, Collective Custom builders, Self-Build, and Commercial Developers to deliver sensitive, sustainable designs.
