In light of the recent appointment of the new Labour government in the UK, David Hills, director of DSDHA was asked to contribute to The Architecture Foundation Supporters Column, to comment on the housing delivery plans for the UK, provide reflections on the past and suggestions for alternative forms of housing plans. ‘Like many practices founded around the turn of the millennium, DSDHA benefitted from the previous Labour Government’s major capital investment in education and childcare. Projects, such as Hoyle Early Years Centre, the Foundation Unit for Canon Popham Church of England Primary & Nursery School, and William Bellamy’s Children’s Centre helped us to establish, sustain and grow our practice – but they were also symbolic of a time when the government was seen to be supporting architects and actively invested in UK’s communities’ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eBdecXSH

Architecture and Planning
The City is our Client. Architecture, landscape, urban design and spatial research. Based in London.
About us
We are an architecture, urban design and spatial research studio. More than bricks and mortar, our projects are about people. Our work spans from crafting beautiful and sustainable buildings, welcoming landscapes and whole new neighbourhoods, through to writing the brief that will shape how a space might be used long into the future. Our aim is to foster positive change in the built environment and to empower communities, creating social value through collaboration and meaningful engagement. Using our intelligence and insight, and by deploying our range of skills to add value and deliver more, we bring projects to life and design them to evolve after completion. Above all, we see beyond boundaries to seek opportunities that bring wider benefits to all. Known for our innovative buildings, high-profile urban strategies and widely-acclaimed research, we have been awarded 19 RIBA Awards, nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, and also shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize.

Last Saturday with our Senior Associate Isabel Moreira conducting a tour at Norton Folgate 👏
Great morning spent on the walking tour organised by The Architecture Foundation for #NortonFolgate. It’s brilliant to share with others the experience of working on such a special scheme and DSDHA's design approach for 16 Blossom Street. Hope everyone has enjoyed the tour!

We are incredibly proud of the the Norton Folgate team who have won two awards at the BCIA Awards last week! Resulting from hard work, dedication and multiple threads of collaboration. We are looking forward to seeing what's next to come for Norton Folgate. If you would like a tour, The Architecture Foundation will be hosting a guided tour on 19th October, tickets here: https://lnkd.in/emdjjNF4 David Hills Michael Breen Isabel Moreira
Congratulations to the Norton Folgate team, who took home the Commercial Property Project of the Year and Community Impact Initiative of the Year at last night's BCIA Awards! Judges commented that "The intent of the project, it's execution, the complexity of the old and new buildings interlinked with one another, and sensitivity of how that responded to the local area was outstanding. The project sets a great example of how commercial property development can go wider than the client requirements and benefit the community too. The consideration of material use through to skills development made this project stand out."

It was great to be part of the Open City tours for #NortonFolgate recently. Specifically to talk about DSDHA’s 16 Blossom Street which I had the honour to work on over the last 6 years with such a great team – client, architects, consultants, and contractors – and part of a masterplan with a rich variety of buildings and public realm offer.

More sites and tours for Open House Festival 2024, Michael Breen from DSDHA was on site at Norton Folgate last Saturday, talking through 16 Blossom Street and Blossom Yard, which also hosted an exhibition on site for the masterplan
It was an honour on Saturday to give Open City tours around the remarkable #NortonFolgate. Part of AHMM's overall masterplan, DSDHA's 16 Blossom Street has been a big part of my life for the past decade, and to see the buildings and public realm begin to come to life with people again is very special.

Autonomous AI, non-human beings, robots and dark spaces. Have a read at Anne Wynne's postcard published in RIBAJ Anne is an Associate at DSDHA. In 2022, she was shortlisted for the MJ Long prize for Excellence in Practice for her work on the retrofit of the National Youth Theatre
Anne Wynne sends a postcard from Pierre Huyghe’s Liminal exhibition in Venice and sees a link between the way the films define conditions in which something can happen as do those architects who see their work as the background https://ow.ly/yJfs50T9nxk
