Thanks to @andy-matthews.bsky.social for letting me know that a building we worked on in our past lives is in this month's @news.architectsjournal.co.uk.

Shit render ahoy: as far as I can tell, the eco credentials of this development relates to the two solar panels to the rear of each.

As the luxury flats have stalled for so long that the cores have become a feature in their own right, perhaps the surroundings are safe.

Greetings from Folkestone where the sky is blue and the luxury flats devoid of context.

Safe to say that my friend and I have not improved our tennis game over the summer.

Today will be a quiet day after the joyful chaos of yesterday and the arrival of the new first years.
