Lovely to be in this months edition of Eme magazine in Spain.
Gonna try to make this in Sims4 /

Up there with the comment that I saw where they felt that the Joshua Tree Residence would make them more likely to be abducted by aliens.
Lecture at 57'10 /
It was lovely to meet the students and tutors up in Aberdeen last week. Thanks so much for the invite to come and speak, it was a hoot!
Gormley at the RA /
Antony Gormley’s show at the Royal Academy is wonderful! I highly recommend it.
Iterations of a Garage /
Here are a small collection of the iterative maquette models for the garage at the Anywhere House in Canada. Because the rest of the house has been split down into individual rooms the scale of a garage seems huge in comparison. The right answer ended up lying in breaking the garage bulk down, giving it the appearance of two conjoined volumes, each comparable in scale to the other volumes in the house.
Torogips, Spain /
Over the last year we’ve been designing a small office building to accompany a new gypsum factory in Spain. Our building will house the changing rooms, laboratory, office and dining room. The inside of a gypsum factory can be a relatively dark and dusty place and so our main objective has been to create a light filled, airy alternative to that. Working with a very modest budget we have concentrated on drawing northern light into all the spaces to ensure that there is a good quality of light throughout the day.
The material palette will be very simple, with painted concrete block for the walls, expanded metal mesh shutters over the windows and a polished concrete floor internally. On the roof we plan to use Cumella Ceramic tiles. The colours aren’t yet confirmed, but I’m inclined to be bold and go for the pattern shown…
Construction will hopefully start this autumn.
Olaf Eliasson: In real life /
I love it!
Olafur Eliasson’s exhibition at Tate Modern is well worth a visit if you get the chance.
Front Cover of Vie Magazine /
This month Joshua Tree Residence is on the front cover of Vie Magazine. Whoop!! You can see the article here.
I’m currently chatting to a few people about designing other houses in Joshua Tree. If they move forward they could really scupper my project naming convention!

Today Joshua Tree is enjoying being on the front cover of a Mexican magazine 🙌
Joshua Tree Spotting /
An eagle eyed friend just spotted this 👌
It’s fun to see the Joshua Tree residence representing architecture in the mainstream/non-architectural press.
