Six Columns

housing

Six Columns was selected as the RIBA 2024 House of the Year. The house was designed by the architect owner for their family within their existing neighbourhood, a leafy street in South London. The house is discrete and considerate of the setting, but not meek in character or detail. From a distance it sits comfortably alongside its neighbours, as you approach and enter its character is revealed.

Timothy Hatton Architects – The Foundry

architectural practice, gallery, garden, offices, mixed use

Tucked behind a busy road in W12, this former foundry is a multi-level development featuring an architects’ studio with courtyards and spaces for exhibitions and musical performances. The building's 15m brick chimney is a local landmark. This year we have a new exhibition in our gallery, showcasing the work of celebrated British artist Sophie Smallhorn.
