Earth Works Volume 01: Reclamation

Thank you to all those who came to see our proposals for Little Haldens in the Gomm Valley at the weekend, where we are working with Mae and Kjellander Sjöberg architects. The exhibition showed the illustrative masterplan, an overview of the key features of the project and the ecology, energy and landscape strategies.The plans will now be finalised and drawn together in an outline planning application for submission to Wycombe District Council in December.

Concrete contractors Togher have been working hard through the summer heat to finish the structural concrete on the Colville Phase 2 Building F courtyard garden. Waterproofing commences next week with brickwork following in August.

Colville 2 is a collaboration with Karakusevic Carson Architects and MUF for contractors Higgins. Our thanks to Dave, Tony and the team at Higgins for their care and attention over the setting out.

We're just about back in action after a mammoth consultation event in High Wycombe. We had over 200 people through the tent doors over two days and gained some really insighfull feedback on the emerging masterplan for Little Haldens, Gomm Valley.

Periscope has been commissioned by Harrow Council and Friends of Byron Park to produce a Framework Plan for Byron Park. This new piece of work is jointly commissioned and will involve close collaboration with the Friends of the park, Harrow Council, Harrow Parks Forum as well as the Environment Agency and Thames Water. The process kicked off with a resident's consultation event in Harrow Leisure centre, almost 100 people came to have their say providing the design team with really valuable insight into their local area and their hopes for the park.

We've been casting concrete for our latest project in Barking. This is the second prototyping phase using site won aggregates supplied by our client Barking Riverside Ltd. The tests aim to establish the performance of various aggregates including knapped flint, incinerator bottom ash and crushed concrete. The next test phase is a full-scale accelerated pavement test on site ahead of the project construction phase commencing in 2019.
