An article on dementia has been written by Sarah Wilson for the City Metric Online. The piece looks at how innovative home design could revolutionise dementia care and even slow down symptoms. It draws on our projects Losing Myself created for the Venice Biennale 2016 and the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin on approaching dementia friendly design.
We are delighted that our project West Court for Jesus College Cambridge has won an RIBA Regional Award and Tom McGlynn was awarded the RIBA East Project Architect of the Year. The project design includes the refurbishment and extension of the Grade II listed Webb Building with new café pavilion and basement bar, and the remodelling and extension of the 1970’s Rank Building fronting Jesus Lane.
The judges commented “This extension to Jesus College manages the difficult trick of feeling entirely old fashioned in its use of hand crafted materials … while remaining entirely modern in its loose geometry, use of daylight and simplicity of forms. Jesus College now offers a sequence of rational, thoughtful spaces that seems inevitable, but we know took a great deal of architectural skill and determination to deliver”
