Hawkins\Brown

We’re so excited to share the news that Hawkins\Brown has officially received B Corp™ Certification! 🌱 We're honoured to be joining a community of thousands of businesses around the globe pursuing purpose as well as profit.

A call for building standards in emergency housing 📢🏡👩👩👧👦 In a recent article for Inside Housing, Hawkins\Brown partner Nick Gaskell advocates for the introduction of new building standards for emergency housing, a crucial and under-regulated form of housing used by the most vulnerable people in our society. Drawing on his experience designing the Harold Hill Family Welcome Centre, Nick looks at some of the projects across the industry leading the way for purpose-built emergency housing, and the ways the Labour government can support these crucial initiatives.

Mighty oaks from little acorns 🌰🌱🌳 "Biophilia" is bit of a buzzword in green architecture, but at our #RIBAAward shortlisted biophilic school, St Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy, the effects are tangible. A new article from the Architects’ Journal explores how pupils and teachers have responded to the new environment with improved academic performance, greater mental wellbeing and, most importantly, a stronger connection with their natural surroundings.

As Digital Life Teesside nears completion, we thought we'd share a sneak peek of the project with some construction images from recent weeks. 🥳💖 The Digital Life building at Teesside University will provide industry-quality facilities for students of the School of Computing, Engineering, and Digital Technologies. With teaching labs, collaborative learning and fully adaptable production environments, all wrapped in a distinctive perforated veil inspired by data visualisation, the building will stimulate creativity and encourage multidisciplinary approaches to digital art and design. #teesside #middlesborough #digitaltechnologies #highereducationdesign #universityarchitecture

A little bit of wilderness in the heart of London 🌻☀️ Huge thanks to author, ecologist, and urban tree-hugger Nadina Galle for attending the most recent meeting of the Hawkins\Brown book club, and sharing her amazing insights on how technology can improve and restore our relationship with the natural world, particularly in urban contexts. As part of our commitment to finding innovative solutions to pressing environmental concerns, we very much enjoyed reading her book, The Nature of Our Cities, and just couldn't resist a spring photo shoot in the Wild - a living installation outside our London offices in Clerkenwell. Do you have a suggestion on what we should read next? Let us know in the comments! #urbangreening #internetofnature #urbannature #urbandesign #bookclub #officebookclub
