With characteristic generosity, Michael Sandle RA, gave Waddington Architects his original Night and Day Percentage for Art panels for our La Colomberie Office development. Often broody in our reception area, they occasionally catch the daylight and then you appreciate the connection with their alu-bronze cousins integrated into the architecture of the finished building.

Congratulations to our Interior Designer, Steph who popped in earlier today with her new baby. Wishing her all the best!

Today we bid farewell to our colleague Dave and wish him all the best as he embarks on the next chapter! Enjoy retirement Dave!

On Friday we enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Quayside celebrating Penny’s Birthday! What better way to kick off a weekend?!

We had a great afternoon at the Boat House celebrating our Christmas Party and there were many Secret Santa gifts to be enjoyed including these – new dream team?!

Hand drawing and sketching is an important element in architecture and design.

The process helps us to better understand the design and resolve all the buildings components.

Although much of what we do is on computer, basic hand-drawing skills are still vital for hatching out that first initial idea! Mike, our director shares his process during lockdown.

A further glimpse into Waddington’s ‘Drawing Gym’ workshop. Now that so much of what we do is on the computer it was a great day to get back to basics with a pen and paper and ‘re-learn’ how to draw.

Our talented team of Interior Designers have an understanding and appreciation across all design genres and will help you to create a space that merges your own personal style with current trends, whilst considering the architectural language of your home. ⠀⠀
A good design process is truly collaborative and much like any art form, should be an expression of yourself!

We had a great afternoon enjoying teas, coffees and a selection of sandwiches and cakes at the Grand Hotel following a team presentation.

At Waddington’s we are working with the States of Jersey & researching ways we can used recycled glass as part of our facade designs & hoping we can reuse it to create low-maintenance, low cost, sustainable & beautiful architecture.

We’re calling is BOTTLE-DASH! It’s like pebble-dash but will sparkle in the sunshine, or at night if illuminated!

We’re always looking for new and innovative ways to incorporate traditional materials into our designs, such as concrete. Printed and translucent concrete was a consideration for a recent project of ours.

A recent addition to our calendar is the Summer Social where we spent the afternoon locked in The Escape Rooms down at the Jersey War Tunnels followed by an evening meal at Cheffins at Beaumont. As much as we work hard we also like to make time to socialise and have fun!

Waddington are pleased to share the news that our balustrade design for Ed Le Quesne House were successfully Registered by Design.
