Our Favourite storage solutions

This month’s theme is inspired by a recent conversation on our Facebook page. We asked “what makes a house a home?” and someone mentioned storage. With this in mind, our favourites this month is dedicated to clever storage solutions.

Our Favourite timber cladding

If you look at our Projects page, it’s easy to see how we feel about timber cladding. We love using it for its versatility, performance and sustainability. 

We’re delighted to be joined by David Ross from Russwood this month. In case you missed it, we teamed up with Russwood a few months ago to share their top tips for finding the best timber cladding.

Our Favourites x Sheffield Modern

Later this month, Sheffield Modern, the arts festival inspired by the city’s architecture, returns for the second year.

The weekender aims to get people thinking about the shape of the city in new ways – through exhibitions, talks, walks, family-focused workshops, installations, and film screenings. Inspired by the festival, the team have taken a closer look at our city’s architecture.

Our Favourite living architecture

We’re always interested to see how architecture and the buildings around us incorporate elements of the natural world.

Our Favourite places to visit in Barcelona

Our talented Architectural Assistant, Marcus, recently left us to spend a summer travelling and exploring the world. First up is a trip to Sri Lanka and next will be a cycling trip around Europe.

In honour of his travels, we thought we’d put together a list of must-see places for him to explore when he visits Barcelona – one of the many cities on his bucket list.

Safe travels Marcus!
