Last day on site at the now RIBA National Award Winning DurhamTLC. If only I’d known what was to come over the next year - global pandemic, furlough & redundancy. Will never regret the decisions I made & aim to show future WIC that having a baby shouldn’t be the end of ur success

To paraphrase: "If you build it, they will come." Some incredible early results for the new Britannia Leisure Centre, ahead of all projections and such an asset for the community.

Late afternoon, not quite sunset over Britannia/Brafa Square/Shoreditch Park. Such a beautiful setting & sky. A mini thread ♥️👇

A few more angles and walk home.

More Hackney Award nominations this week, this time it's the new Britannia Leisure Centre up for a London RICS award. Already a hit with the community & rapidly becoming a Hackney icon, glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves. The difference Hackney Labour makes.

Plot 12 approved at appeal. Absolute garbage. Planning inspectors need to be educated in design. Newcastle river frontage deserves better acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/ViewDocument.a…. This is a disgrace for Newcastle. @perry_jims Newcastle City Council.
