Highlights include the innovative ways that we have solved problems and stamped each client's individualized signature into each design as well as the incredible range of projects that we have done. We have reworked hospitals and schools, designed housing projects, rebranded and designed stores and restaurants and made many nests for people to live in. I love learning, working with our clients, and building a team. And I love creating the details, which are always different. Among broader accomplishments, we always challenge ourselves. I love what we can do technologically now, energy-wise, and design-wise, and the recycling and awareness of what we are using and wasting. (There is however much to learn about the wasting.) And I love what we can do with lighting.

We’re delighted to share that The Connected House has been shortlisted for the RIBA London Awards 2024—a recognition that celebrates architectural excellence and innovation. Nestled in the heart of The Dulwich Estate’s conservation area, The Connected House is a prime example of how cutting-edge sustainability and technological integration can breathe new life into a mid-century home. Originally designed by Austin Vernon & Partners in the early 1960s, this home stood as a relic of its time—boasting incredible views of London’s skyline but suffering from decades of substandard modifications.
