…At the other end of the scale, it’s great to

…At the other end of the scale, it’s great to have got Commended in the Jersey Design Awards for the frontage of this small development in St Aubins, in the Best Placemaking category. The judges valued how the contemporary contextual design enhanced the public realm and could be enjoyed by passers-by. Inspired by St Aubin’s rich maritime industrial heritage, the asymmetrical façade design is a mixture of granite, robust steelwork and malleable more playful steelwork- which doodle wave-forms across the garage doors and railings. A gentle reminder of ‘place’….

Delighted that The Limes won the only Design Award

Delighted that The Limes won the only Design Award for affordable homes with a ‘Highly Commended’ in the Best Large-Scale New Build Development category. The judges focussed on how effectively the 3-dimensional building form is composed, the successful relationship with Jersey context and neighbourhood, its character and identity, the materials chosen, and the small but important details and the wider community benefits…

Bruno had the pleasure of spending time with Year 10 students from Les Quennevais School this week, giving feedback on their work-in-progress designs to support their Design Engineer and Construct (DEC!) course.

Good to see some impressive 3D models of their designs – There were certainly some architects in the making!

“It was our good fortune that Waddington's stepped in to help with our project when we were anticipating a delay with the Building Control stage through a competitor. The result is a beautiful orangery with a better design which has significantly enhanced our house.“

Well done to GCSE and past Trident student, Charle

Well done to GCSE and past Trident student, Charles Dubberley, on his Design Technology submission coming 2nd in his year! He combined a practical timber, turned, scented souvenir using lavender oil and referencing Jersey’s Corbiere lighthouse in an abstracted manner. What a great idea to trigger multiple senses of happy memories for tourists to take home. It was pleasure being a small part of your design journey.

Are Planning’s new emerging space standards alre

Are Planning’s new emerging space standards already out of date? Space standards are restricted to 2D yet we live in a 3D world. Is it time we rethink how we actually live and consider multi-use spaces that don’t have room names? Why have a dedicated “Living Room”? In the digital world we can “live” in all rooms. Make walls moveable, spaces flexible. Make better use of volume not just flat surfaces.
