“…The complex geometry of this bus station, curved on plan and with round shouldered "eaves", is neatly resolved by this very well detailed steel frame…”

The overall concept of the Interchange was to develop improved connections between the rail and bus services while integrating a new landmark building into Barnsley town centre. This has been achieved by developing the main bus station building as a high quality, fully enclosed concourse. The glazed façade looks on to the bus stands, while behind it service and retail units face onto the street outside. The whole building is embraced by a copper clad aerofoil shaped roof that wraps around the edges of the building.

“…A small timber building beautifully detailed with the structure exposed to match and enhance the interesting skewed geometry of the plan. To design and build to this quality in a place as distant as Costa Rica is a real triumph…”

The simple form of the two pavilions of Casa Kike belies the complexity of their geometry. Each pavilion might be described as just two walls, a floor and a roof but is, more technically, a trussed timber shell in the form of an eccentrically-truncated, irregular, four-sided cone.

“…A really wild piece of steelwork, showing what can be done by 3D computer programmes. I hope Littlehampton likes it!…”

The East Beach Cafe is a south-facing single storey building on the seafront in Littlehampton. The building has a narrow footprint determined by the dual constraints of the promenade at the front and the public car park running along the rear of the site. The southern façade is predominantly glazed to afford the maximum views from the café to the sea, whilst a level of interest and detail has been achieved on the rear of the café by the rippling form.

“…This spiral staircase made entirely of glass is a good demonstration of the amount of careful research and testing that is needed when using a material in an unusual way. The result is a beautiful piece of sculpture…”

An existing house, in Hyde Park Square near Marble Arch, had been remodeled to contain a large double height living space. The structural designer had already created a roof using glass beams, as well as a glass floor and balustrades around the edge of a mezzanine kitchen area. The final act would be to link the upper and lower spaces with a staircase.
