Hadir Al Koshta — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 09:00:00 +0000

This project is a 21st-century reinvention of the ‘collegiate quadrangle’, the basis of Oxford’s academic and urban fabric. The Oxford quadrangle is an 800-year-old pedagogical model that combines student rooms with teaching spaces, organised around landscaped courtyards. Every Oxford College is a variation of this typology. Alison Brooks Architects’ new 6,000 m² Cohen Quad will expand Exeter College’s 700-year-old campus in the heart of Oxford, with undergraduate and graduate living accommodation for 90 students, auditorium, seminar rooms, social learning spaces (The Learning Commons), special collections archive, café, roof terrace, offices and fellows’ accommodation.

Mesh House / Alison Brooks Architects

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 11:00:00 +0000

This project is a rare example of a newly built house in Central London, in the Hampstead Conservation Area. Alison Brooks Architects was commissioned by a private client to design a new model of family home, tailored to the fluid, informal lifestyles of its five family members. The project site is in Belsize Park, Hampstead, one of London’s most characterful neighbourhoods, known for its lush greenery and wide spectrum of domestic architecture. The site is both sloping and wedge-shaped, with a wide frontage that ‘turns the corner ' of Belsize Lane. A crucial technical constraint was to ensure 100% daylight was maintained in the windows of neighbouring buildings, requiring careful 3D modelling of the overall building form. This unusual site called for a careful negotiation of the building form both as a piece of the streetscape and as an instrument to create an intimate domestic landscape.

The first volume wraps around the brick walls at the side and rear of the house to create a home office, while the second volume extends out at the back to increase the size of the first floor living room. The extensions are part of an overall transformation of a classic Victorian semi-detached villa for a client involved in photography and design.

Wildspace / Alison Brooks Architects

Alison Brooks Architects has completed the ‘Wildspace’, a 4000 sq m warehouse refurbishment project in Rainham for client London Thames Gateway Development Corporation. From a derelict state ABA has cre- ated a 90m long ‘supershed’ containing five standalone business units with individual service yards, loading bay access and cores. Responding to both the scale of the building and its landscape setting at the edge of the Rainham marshes, the units are expressed as approximately 13m wide strips of vibrant colour visible from passing Eurostar trains. At the North East end the warehouse’s timber clad ‘wild west’ façade marks the eastern entrance to the Rainham marshes. The building is super insulated, creating a truly sustainable light industrial building, gaining BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.
