Journal – Mikhail Riches

An estimated 38% of global energy related emissions come from buildings & the construction industry. Our ideas and decisions have a direct impact on our planet’s future. We’re joining today’s #ClimateStrike . Designers, consultants, contractors and clients are all in a position where together we can make a difference through the careful and considered design of our built environment. Let’s all respond actively to the grave concerns of our younger generation. We need to act now. .

Some more shots from Park Hill. We’ve been on site for 9 months, working on phase 2 of the regeneration of Europe’s largest listed building. Ours is a light touch approach – to preserve and retain the parts that still work. By recreating the layouts we can create fantastic modern flats whilst working with the constraints of the existing building. As Grenville Squires, Park Hill Caretaker once said, “She’s an elderly lady who wants to wash her face, and put on a new frock.” Next steps in the project are the brickwork cleaning and repointing. .
