Sampling NYC.
CTA were selected to work with American Men’s fashion brand Jack Spade as part of the RIBA Regent Street Windows programme 2013.
We were very taken by the collection of Americana that are housed alongside the for-sale-items in the Jack Spade Store. Our project continues this curatorial approach layering sampled NYC architectural motifs throughout the store.
Outcast Editions’ single building monographs are designed specially for iPad. The books feature commissioned photography and video, a comprehensive selection of architectural drawings, including floor plans, sections, elevations and construction details, as well as a descriptive text and project facts. The books offer a new way to explore and understand contemporary architecture through Outcast Editions’ unique navigation system and interactive contents.
A very busy start to the new year. We have commenced concept design for 8 new clients, including a rooftop pavillion in Shoreditch, the refurbishment and extension of the Grade II Listed Coach House at Scadbury Estate and are working with Crumbles Castle in Islington on proposals to provide a new workshop space for this community adventure playground and after school facility.
We are also helping London Orchard Project with their plans to create a new space at Hackney City Farm.
We are also looking forward to taking part in several exhibitions, publishing a book about Slip House and continuing to lecture at several Universities.
Slip House has received a Special Mention in the Architizer A+ Awards for the Single Family Home category. The competition is global and attracted entries from over 100 countries making this an amazing achievement for our prototype terraced house, one of the only ones without a sea view!
Concept design for a new type of space provided within local neighbourhoods to facilitate meeting, networking and the social needs of isolated homeworkers, child carers, and the elderly.
The proposal re-purposes shipping containers building on the ideas and research of the award winning Magnificent Container project.
This proposal is located at Windrush Square, Brixton.
Slip House has made the shortlist (last 6) of the prestigious WAN (World) House of the Year 2012 awards. It is the only urban house on the list and we await the outcome with excitement.
The house has been designed to Code for Sustainable Homes level 5, and is an exemplar for brownfield, terraced regeneration. We have developed the concept with Slip Street, showing how this flexible house type can form new streets, squares and pocket parks.
We invite Housing Associations and Developers to explore a simplified version of this affordable terraced housing typology with us.
The house was also part of Open House 2012 and Green Sky Thinking.
Frame House was one of only three London Houses shortlisted for an RIBA Award.
The House also received a Highly Commended Award from the Concrete Society for it’s in-situ conrete finishes.

After being shortlisted in the inaugural Small Project Architect category, CTA received a Highly Commended, special mention, joint runner up with Simon Conder. This is a highly contested award for a body of work produced by an Architect.
Documentary film featured Slip House as part of the latest series of this iconic TV programme.

The project utilizes numerous fast track, off-site construction techniques and experimental low energy technologies, such as a solar assisted array ground source heat pump, combined with PV-T’s.
Magnificent Container at hackney City farm has won the NLA Don’t Move Improve Award 2011/12 for best small office space.
