Orwin House Final Presentation


Presenting our work to our clients at the arc light and to the residents at the orwin house
Plans and sections of the house including the environmental technology
The clients love it so did the residents. The greatest thing I learnt from this project is that your idea is never 100% yours. As everybody contributes to the subject matter. Everybody has equal say.

United Reform Church-Blasphemy

I realise the United Reformed Church is not that interested in the architecture of its churches, and that it hasn't really contributed much to the history of sacred buildings. But this is ridiculous.

I suppose you could say that this is the plain style - a bad developer house, scaled up with a cross stuck on the gable. It's not meant to look any different from the places you live. But surely, surely there could have been a little more love taken here without compromising the Calvinist roots of the church? Some pleasure to the entrance sequence instead of an acre of tarmac, for instance?
From the outside, it looks as though the internal volume could be ok, an airy space with exposed glu-lam rafters.
