It was great to celebrate the completion of construction and soft opening of East Oxford Community Centre with the people who matter the most, the original tenants and those who will be using the centre!

Big congratulations to Barnaby who after 8 years in education and practice has just passed his Part 3 and qualified as an Architect! 🥂 😆

Throwback to one of our smaller projects, a bright and welcoming new single-storey extension in Oxford ✨

This spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area brings in plenty of natural light with neutral tones and finishes that connect beautifully with the outdoors.

Yesterday, Jessop and Cook gathered for a fun team social. We visited the beautiful Edward King Chapel at Ripon College in Cuddesdon, near Oxford. It was great to see the complexity, detail, texture and materiality of Niall McLaughlin's building.

We are excited to see Bayworth Construction start the building works at a unique house refurbishment, with the entire second floor opened up to allow for a whole new layout to suit the client’s needs. It has split levels and is part of a unique 1980s development in Oxford.

It was an important week last week at our project at Christ the King Church, Sonning Common. DBR Ltd lifted and rotated the very heavy reconstituted stone altar! It was a big task but has allowed for a better new layout to be achieved.

Feeling hot? Utilising solar shading above your windows, shading from the outside. It can reduce solar gain and help cool inside, more effectively than shading internally. Here are some louvre’s at Bullingdon Community Centre, Oxford we completed a few years ago.

Dan and Danni went to Christ the King Church in Sonning Common yesterday for a site visit. We are currently working with ODS to upgrade the church with a new extension, replacement roof and internal alterations to provide it with a new lease of life. It was great to see the new PVs in place.

It's great to see this project we co-designed with JTP LLP with consultation by Transition by Design and landscape architecture by Ireland Albrecht in the Architects’ Journal.
