Though postponed due to the Covid19 lockdown, we hope to see this festival of art that attracts fourteen thousand visitors in a single evening be rescheduled to later this year. A fantastic opportunity to help a good cause. Having been approached by the Architecture Department at MMU we were invited to collaborate on an art installation being commissioned by Street Support, MCC's central support network for homelessness provision. Utilising designs produced by architecture students we developed detailed construction drawings from 3D models to build the exhibition using WikiHouse. Though intended to form part of the International Arts and Homeless Festival the funding target for the project was not achieved in time. We are still currently seeking funding to complete this work next year and would appreciate any enquiries!

The judges were impressed with our implementation of innovative methods of construction and co-creation with communities, practices which shape and unite us and steer every decision we make. Our Director Charlie was nominated as an RIBAJ Rising Star 2021 LITTLE HULTON PLANNING PERMISSION APPROVED Our project for Little Hulton, a refurbishment and extension of an existing park building to create a community hub, has been granted planning permission! 27 BROGDEN GROVE Client: Lauri and Bradley AU worked on an internal renovation and rear extension to this Edwardian end of terrace house in order to open up and extend the ground floor. The project’s core aim is to make this house fit for modern living and a possible future family home by providing a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living room at ground floor that is light filled and embraces the courtyard to the rear. MAGPIE Magpie is our new version of the WikiHouse that is designed for community-self build projects. WikiHouse has always been about the intrepid and the bold looking to create a new vision for their spaces but Magpie further lowers the skill level required for engaging with your own building projects by reducing the amount of on-site construction time required. Utilising a “cassette system” whereby all the walls, roof and floor panels can be pre-assembled, insulated and lined away from the site Magpie streamlines the construction process and allows people of all ages and abilities to get even more involved with their build. 1/8

154 Ashworth Valley Waterfall Regeneration Concept 1.jpg Concept 4.jpg Sketch Render 3.jpg Concept 1.jpg 1/8 Client Moments of Life Charity Location Ashworth Valley, Rochdale Budget TBC Collaborators ​ Downloads ​ Bridging Inclusivity and Biophilic Design Nature is commonly seen as a place of biodiversity as well as a temple for oneself to recharge mentally and physically from dreaded city life. Irrespective of the particulars of the needs one assigns to these terms, the emotional coherence of “nature” as the site of rejuvenation and happiness is clear. Unfortunately, for many this is not the case. For some, access to nature’s wonders are limited and is often a source of stress, hardship and can, in some very sad cases, be a dangerous space to overcome. The aim of this project is to change the way accessibility is conceived to root the positive power of nature in order to uplift a community of professionals and neighbours with health conditions or impairments to create a new circulation route to Ashworth Valley Waterfall. This project has been envisioned of what such a community might look like in Ashworth Valley Waterfall by developing a coherent vision for new-build inclusive pathways. These pathways would be designed under the guidelines provided of Approved Document Part M, Access to and use of Buildings and The Equality 2010 (Disability) Regulations 2010 with the aim of enabling a culture of personal growth founded in inclusive architecture. Whatever each individual’s objective, obtaining access to the waterfall for the first time, soaking in the biodiversity the valley has to offer or exploring a new environment that better suits their health needs, this new community route would become the backdrop to the nascent regeneration of Ashworth Valley Waterfall. Beyond the immediate impact of the scheme, we hope that this project becomes a beacon of good practice of hyper-local regeneration and will have a wider positive impact on the surrounding issues around accessibility, inclusivity and community that will spread the benefits of the unique way these pathways have been conceived and will be delivered.
