The updated brochure* comes only two years after the first edition was launched to mark the company’s tenth anniversary. Reflecting the company’s expansion over the past two years, the publication’s content has increased by a third to 80 pages. It features descriptions of 73 projects across a diverse spectrum of sectors, including cultural, heritage, commercial, education, public realm and housing. All designs are bespoke and innovative, integrating the very latest advances in environmental engineering. A useful new addition for 2019 is a glossary of M&E terms. 

 

Newly-completed projects include the exemplary Cambridge Central Mosque (Marks Barfield Architects), where the striking timber construction keeps embodied energy very low; the 2019 RIBA National Award-winning Peter Hall Performing Arts Centre (Haworth Tompkins) at The Perse School, Cambridge; and the first phase of the 2019 AJ Retrofit Award-winning Green House for Ethical Property Company in east London.

 

Set in a hillside with no gas or drainage, the highly-sustainable Weston visitor centre (Feilden Fowles) at Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a 2019 RIBA Stirling Prize finalist.
