Just before Christmas we got another lovely book through the post.

It’s a real treat to see our work in print and great to see how much it resonates.

The wonderful team at Monsa have dedicated quite a few pages to our projects Hechingen Studio and Starburst House.

A giant thank you to all involved!

Intermodal Europe by James Whitaker

Joshua Tree Residence

On Wednesday I'm going to be talking about Hechingen Studio and Joshua Tree Residence at Intermodal Europe in Amsterdam.

Intermodal Europe is the world-leading exhibition and conference for companies associated with the container and intermodal industries...

If you're in Amsterdam over the next couple of days drop me a line and we can have a beer!

Joshua Tree Press Roundup by James Whitaker

Bored Panda Facebook Post

What a crazy couple of weeks! In September I contacted Dezeen about a house that I'm designing at the minute and it ended up being their most popular article for 10 days. It went viral. Forbes wrote about it. The Metro would like to see it on Airbnb. One reader of Bored Panda thought that it would increase his chance of being abducted by aliens. CNN featured it, as did Huffington Post Deutschland, The Sunday TimesDwell, Archdaily, Elle Decoration NetherlandsCurioctopus, Curbed, Inhabitat, Casa Claudia, Ignant, Hypebeast, Design Boom, Demilked, Konbini, The Awesome Daily, Inside Hook, Plain, World Architecture Community, Mind Body Green, New Atlas, Architectura Viva, Interesting Engineering... There are a whole load more articles out there to explore but even this shortened list is very flattering. I'm looking forward to the next stage now!
