Architecture Today features Burwood
September 2019
Architecture Today explores Burwood as an ecologically responsive house and the close connection it has with it’s coastal site. Full feature here.
Burwood is a sustainable four-bedroom house that explores ideas of flexibility, inclusivity and scale. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to the sea, it comprises two oak-clad volumes – that are intended to complement the plot’s existing Oak trees – linked by a large glass-enclosed lounge with a grass roof.

We have recently completed this sustainable family home in Sussex. It rests in an AONB and revisits modernist ideas of flexibility, variety in use, inclusivity and scale. More information can be seen here.
Third Prize For Hidden Homelessness Competition Organised with New Horizon Youth Centre
Homelessness is still a huge issue, a year after this competition was launched and which was won by Morris and co. We will leave this entry as a reminder of the importance of the issue. We do hope to inspire hotel owners to incorporate our ideas.

Hidden Homelessness Competition on the Colander Website.
Proud to be part of the winning team for this important competition. Our proposal: ‘Good Night’, combined a hotel and hostel, as a social entrepreneurship project. Goodnight was written in the parapet of the proposed building: wishing all in the building as well as all in the city a good night. We wish each other a good night, every night, a pledge, or reminder that sleeping safely is important: something we should all work towards achieving for all.

Catja de Haas Architects Collaborated with Rosie Bichard; Anders Luhr and Erika Suzuki from OfficeTen. Sophie Walker worked on the project for Catja de Haas Architects.
A replacement dwelling of 312 m² is almost finished. A large, glazed space, of 3 meter high and a grass roof envelops two oak clad boxes. The house is smaller than the house that was there previously and most of the glass is directed towards the garden.
The project was executed with technical support from Takero Shimazaki Architects.
