Squire & Partners Annual 2021

2021

“The light you see at the end of the tunnel, is the headlamp of a fast approaching train.” MacInTalk circa 1990 As we began 2020 we were filled with hope for a good year. Instead, as for so many people around the world, 2020 turned out to be one of the most challenging and difficult years we have ever faced.

As Covid-19 spread around the globe, with devastating consequences, so it also began to affect our business in a profound way. Lockdowns presented huge challenges to an industry that relies on interaction, collaboration and face-to-face communication. We were forced to change our entire way of working in the space of a month as everyone went home to work in isolation.

We must say thank you so much to all our staff this year more than ever. It has been incredibly challenging to make things work whilst in lockdown. Many people had personal health worries, were juggling home schooling or shielding vulnerable loved ones and on top of that the business was suffering very difficult financial circumstances.

Everyone has had to make sacrifices this year that have made life more difficult. The fact that we are still here is a testament to their spirit, commitment and talent. Thank you all so much.

In-spite of all the chaos, we completed some notable projects this year of which we are very proud. These include Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice in Barnet, a new education and community centre for Brixton Windmill, an affordable housing scheme organised around shared public space at Island Point on the Isle of Dogs, a new office building which responds to its railway heritage setting at Rolling Stock Yard, two residential towers at Casson Square as part of our Southbank Place masterplan, a distinctive residential building for Argent’s King’s Cross development at Luma, and United House on Notting Hill Gate which employs coloured terracotta to reflect the history of craft in the area.

There are some large scale projects which are also beginning to emerge this year including The Broadway and One Palace Street, both very different scales and design approaches. Together they will contribute enormously to changing face of Victoria and Westminster.

Lockdown led to many discussions about the future of cities, in particular how they might be inhabited and accessed. Perhaps they will be less about a singular centre and suburbs, and more about a series of hubs where people can live, work and socialise within 15 minutes’ walk - a more localised umbrella city. This could reduce commuting times, reduce carbon emissions, ease pressure on public transport, revitalise local high streets and improve local amenities. Most importantly a more localised city could foster a stronger sense of community and belonging. Whatever the future, we believe that positive things can come from this horrific time. We must seize the opportunities and strive towards a better, cleaner and happier city for future generations.

On a more micro level, offices, residential, ways of working, planning legislation, the high street and retail have all been under the microscope during this time. Perhaps accelerating trends that were already emerging, we have undertaken a number of studies into how offices in particular can introduce more communal spaces, put sustainaibility and wellness at the centre of design and make them a more pleasant place to be. We may never return to the ‘battery-farm’ office of pre-Covid times but instead move more universally to ‘free-range’ offices. The office is still such an important place where much needed information exchange, learning and socialising happens.

Our new development The Department Store Studios launches in February 2021, completing our Brixton campus, and takes on board much of our analysis about the future of offices. Time will tell but we hope we can prove a new office model and ways of thinking can be successful at a time when the traditional model appears outdated.

2020 may well be a year that people will look back on in the future as a seminal moment in time. From the nightmare of the pandemic, perhaps a re-set button has been pressed. The time to reflect has led many people to consider what is important and what sort of city and world we want to live in. As designers it is our responsibility to lead from the front. With the vaccine now being rolled out and the hope of a last minute Brexit deal, we sincerely hope that the light we can see at the end of the tunnel this year truly is just that.

Art’otel Type: Hotel with offices and art gallery Location: Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch Status: On site Design inspiration for the hotel is drawn from Old Street’s regeneration as the epicentre of London’s Tech City as well as the bull-nose buildings which characterise the local Conservation Area.

The building form has been developed as a series of layered cogs, representative of the first computer, Babbage’s difference engine. Both the main building form and its external detail draw inspiration from this core inspiration of stacked and rotating cogs to inform the design.

Education

Winter Windows 2020 Collaborating with community organisation We Rise, five Year 13 students (age 17-18) from Elm Green and Norwood secondary schools have had the opportunity to work with architects and modelmakers from Squire & Partners. Students have not only designed the installation, but developed new skills in creative collaboration, design development, software, making and visual display.

Stephen Lawrence Trust In February our Education team hosted a group of students from the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust for a site visit to The Department Store Studios in Brixton, where we’re developing a new neighbourhood workspace. We discussed our use of CLT as both a structural element and interior finish, as well as other measures to create a carbon zero development.

Building Futures mentoring We continued our support of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust’s Building Futures programme in 2020, mentoring students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups on their journey into architecture. Our students were given one-on-one mentoring, work experience and practical guidance towards their goal to qualify as architects.

Open City Accelerate Culminating in an online exhibition of work this summer, we were delighted to maintain our relationship with Open City’s Accelerate programme by mentoring two students to create portfolio pieces for their further education in architecture.

Accelerate creates a platform for students from underrepresented backgrounds to develop their thinking about architecture and the built environment.

Built By Us Fluid programme For the second year we are providing volunteer mentors for the award winning Fluid Diversity mentoring programme created by Built By Us. The initiative works one-to-one to support career development in under-represented groups and encourage growth into management and leadership roles.

Livity x Squire & Partners: The Creative Built Industry Addressing the acute lack of opportunity for young people in 2020, we created a digital panel event for Brixton creative youth network Livity. The event outlined routes into the creative built environment and broader issues including how COVID-19 has accelerated aspects of design, what key issues the industry is facing and ways young people can grow their personal brand whether they’re in or out of work.

NHS Scrubs Our modelshop team - in collaboration with in-house textile designer Isabel Fletcher – created bespoke sets of scrubs for local NHS hospitals and provided a free local print service for scrub patterns. The two piece sets were handmade to NHS standards and featured a customised breast pocket using a bespoke patterned fabric with the message of One Love NHS to create a joyful element to NHS heroes.

Brixton BID Restarter Packs As members of the Brixton business community, we were happy to support Brixton BID in creating Restarter Packs to help local shops and businesses open safely. The pack included posters, floor vinyl, face masks, visors, gloves and hand sanitiser in a branded tote.

NHS Visors During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, our modelshop team produced free visors for South London NHS hospitals, care homes and GP surgeries with an output of 120 per week. Made using recycled PLA with an Ultimaker S5 3D printer, the headbands featured a message of One Love NHS for the wearer.

Derwent London NHS Apartments In support of our longstanding client, Derwent London, a team from Squire & Practice donated a series of original artworks frames by Studio 73 to decorate sixteen furnished apartments at their 80 Charlotte Street development, made available for University College Hospital workers.

Winter Windows 2020 Now in its fourth year, our award winning Winter Windows project addressed the acute lack of opportunity for young people locally during the pandemic. Collaborating with five 18 year olds through in-person workshops and online tuition, the students were able to acquire new skills in creative collaboration, design development, software, making and visual display. The final result creates a portfolio piece for each student to take forward into their further education or career choices.

Brixton Playground - a vision for a new normal Reopening Brixton following the national lockdown in March meant reimagining the public realm for businesses, residences, customers and visitors alike. In collaboration with Brixton Bid and Lambeth community groups, Brixton Playground envisioned the pedestrianisation of Brixton Town Centre, including Atlantic Road, Coldharbour Lane, Beehive Place, Brixton Station Road, Pope’s Road and Ferndale Road.

Changing Face of London Marking the 15-year anniversary of New London Architecture, the Changing Face of London exhibition profiled major regeneration projects across London and viewed the scale of change in the city over the same period. We were delighted to have Chelsea Barracks masterplan showcased as an exemplar regeneration project.

10x10 Article 25 Auction Partner Tim Gledstone has created artworks for Article 25’s 10x10 Drawing the City charity auction every year since its inception - this year the theme was ‘Markets from Memory’.

Tim created a sculpture inspired by early memories of street markets filled with visual and acoustic vibrancy, which presented traditional London trades against the insatiable appetite of international consumerism.

The Lockdown Collection Our Events team have curated a community art exhibition to showcase the works of amateur artists in the local area created during lockdown. The Lockdown Collection, due to launch in our Downstairs event space in early 2021, will offer an opportunity for the wider Brixton community to present their work alongside others and share experiences of lockdown.

South London Cares fundraising An early casualty of lockdown was a fundraising exhibition for South London Cares, a charity who provide support for elderly people in the community, which planned to sell works by local artists. An auction was hosted online and we were able to display an original painting of The Department Store’s dome by Tim Goffe in our windows which alone raised £1,000 for the charity.

Unify x The Departent Store Street artist Unify has brought doorways to life with uplifting pieces as part of the street gallery on Stockwell Avenue. The initiative aims to bring joy and hope to the local community after what has been a challenging year.
