Studio Tom Emerson. The Monk's Parlour, 20.09–16.10.2012 Together, we will build a tower housing an elevated room like a cave released from its enclosing mountain.
The Monk’s Parlour buried at the rear of John Soane’s extraordinary house-museum in London, fuses objects, space and light into a layered universe of its own; one of memory, ancient and ruined but also one of abstraction and multiple horizons layered in deep labyrinthine top lit voids. We will reinterpret Soane’s inner world as a free standing pavilion reinvented for our contemporary world. Made from reclaimed timber, the structure will open the semester’s tectonic heart. Collective construction will lead to designing the room and the city – or more precisely, a room as a city. Scribes & Squares, 20.09–05.10.2011 To open our semester, we will ask you to design and build a transportable, modular theatre from reclaimed material. Be possible to transport our structure fast to different public spaces in the city. 96 Hands, 21.09–05.10.2010 your design.

The Tree House was developed in response to the mother of a busy family who in finding herself reliant on a wheelchair was also finding herself increasingly confined to a single room. Her home is a pair of small grade II listed 1830’s brick weavers cottages, joined together in the 1970’s as part of the GLC homesteading scheme.
The garden was reached via steps from an opportunistic scaffold verandah on chunky concrete columns – the legacy of the previous owner, a builder. South London Gallery / 6a Architects.

The buildings are conceived as large roof volumes hovering over the ground and water, leaving open views of Lake Windermere beneath them. 6a architects.
