Only seen it once, be ironic if that’s the lot and I watch the whole series waiting…
Any pics?
Funnily enough my old practice have put it at the top of their twitter feed. Not that I’m bitter…
Tbh I was absolutely shitting myself when I went to the opening, as it sits opposite an amazing grade 1 listed uni building. A relief that it turned out well.

I think it works, although who am I to comment. Never got close to designing anything as grand as that. It was a long time ago,most of the work I did (many years ago) was under principal architects on listed/historic buildings. Very enjoyable, but not headlining work.

Obviously, it is a completely different route, working within extremely tight boundaries, but still very rewarding to feel that you can reproduce the skills and beauty that seem like a lost art.
My ex-lodger is a craft blacksmith who is mostly doing restoration work (Hampton Court, Chatsworth etc). A real challenge that she enjoys.

Where is that?
RHUL in Windsor. Lovely place.
On a random note - It looks very skateboard friendly, lots of steps, handrails and low walls. You will also be very popular in those circles.
I did a student graduate film for them e few years back thinking it was a London college we shot somewhere in Egham.
They spent a several million on the landscape (can’t take the credit for the design, company called Plincke). It used to be a car park, now intended to be a multifunctional space for student events etc.
No public access per se, so limited to the students of the uni.

One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing, with the 7 year old.
Lovely to watch something with such an amazing cast, Derek Nimo in particular is a personal favourite. Can’t help but feel that it’s probably quite racist by modern standards mind!
