Architecture

The Balearic Islands are driving an architecture revolution via IBAVI's low-impact housing. Alventosa Morell Arquitectes and Joan J. Fortuny's project is a model of this ethos. Using site-excavated stones and compacted-earth walls the building is an act of knowledge exchange for public building.

The Rammed Earth House in Wiltshire by Tuckey Design Studio reflects a slow, thoughtful approach to design. Commissioned by a couple, it’s shaped by how they live together, the sun’s arc, and the surrounding landscape.

Lebanese born and Paris based architect Lina Ghotmeh is rightly gaining a reputation for beautiful and considered architecture deeply rooted in the history, context and stories of place.

Groupwork’s Finchley Road project elevates stone construction with over 400 precision-engineered Larvikite beams and columns. A low-carbon alternative to steel and concrete, it combines structural innovation and sustainability building on lessons from Clerkenwell Close.

The Tiny Farm Fort is a cob-built, community-driven home where volunteers and locals shape every stone and beam. Using bioregional materials and sustainable techniques, Raghav and Ansh Kumar create a space that teaches, inspires and celebrates connection.

The Living Bridge at Green School Bali is a hands-on learning space where students, teachers and local craftsmen built together.

At Clerkenwell Design Week, the Arch Revival Pavilion wowed visitors with sweeping stone arches. Made from local stone, it uses far less carbon than clay bricks while staying strong and elegant, showing that sustainable design can be both beautiful and bold.

Alex de Rijke and his practice dRMM have extolled the virtues of working with wood since their formation in 1995. WorkStack, completed in 2024 and already winning awards, is an admirable example of how dRMM push the boundaries of what is possible with timber construction.
