Architects: Grimshaw Location: London, England Client: The Cutty Sark Trust Partner: Chris Nash Associate Director: Diane Metcalfe Project Architects: Jorrin Ten-Have, Den Farnworth Architect: Joe Laslett Principal: Steve Brown Photographs: Jim Stephenson Cutty Sark epitomises the great age of sail; she is the last surviving tea clipper.
Herre markable story is tangible evidence of the centuries long importance of sea-trade to this country and to the growth of London as theworld’s pre-eminent port and trading centre. Built as a tea clipper, where speed to market was critical, it is the combination of sail and hull form which gave Cutty Sarkher edge. The hull shape is defined by the revolutionary 19th century composite iron and timber ship building technique. A comprehensive programme of conservation began on Cutty Sark in 2004, which saw the biggest overhaul of the Grade I listed landmark for 50 years with the ship’s reopening planned to take place in 2009.

Two typical 1940’s semis in a north London suburb have been restructured to create a 7,500 sqf house for an extended family of eleven people.

The house is shared by two brothers, their young families and their grandparents. Jonathan Woolf architects has been interested for some time in the way that UK construction methods rely on materials that are becoming thinner and thinner whilst at the same time striving to retain their surface material qualities.
At the same time they have been studying paint as a material in and of itself. This is not a new phenomenon. In this house almost all of the interior surfaces, walls, ceiling, floors and joinery are either painted or laminated to match paint. Hélène Binet.
