Dear Mr Dyson,

I defimitely enjoyed the transformation of the huse in saffron waldon. I’m a year 10 student interested in design and technology.

I am Drawn to architecture but feel it’s beyond my reach. Does your firm offer any mentoring?

I’m using my mother’s email address for any possible reply. Thank you for reading my message.

Naliyeni.
Diana Raican

Hi Naliyeni,

You can send us an email at info@chrisdyson.co.uk and we will offer you an interview for internship over the summer.
Thank you, CDA

We have been very fortunate to invite professor Ja

We have been very fortunate to invite professor Jam Gehl to our studio recently

He was made an Honary livery man by the Architects Livery in the City of London on 26th April 2022

The space between buildings has been his life’s work and something we are very interested in.

Jan is somewhat of a legend in city planning. He has spent about 50 years of his life researching the role of streets and public spaces in cities and how to make them better for people. He started work in Copenhagen, his hometown, but has been employed by cities around the world to research, consult and advise. Those cities have included London, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and Moscow.

One of his key achievements has been to get people to see and think differently about how their city is designed. So here is my first Jan quote:

“By being sweet to the pedestrian and the cyclist you hit five birds with one stone — you get a lively city, you get an attractive city, you get a safe city, you get a sustainable city, and you get a city that’s good for your health. These are all things we are very concerned about at this time in history.”

Jan provides insightful perspectives on many aspects. Life between buildings has become Jan's major focus of study and work.

Jan and his colleagues educate city councils and city planning departments about the value of their public spaces and the quality of public life that is taking place between their buildings

His philosophy is summed up in another quote:

“First life, then spaces, then buildings — the other way around never works.”

He also reminds us that street life does not necessarily have to be confined to the summer months, an especially important concept in the countries of Northern Europe.
That applies to Copenhagen and to this City of London. Indeed, our own planning department works hard to include open spaces in new planning applications.

“A good city is like a good party — people stay longer than really necessary because they are enjoying themselves.”

All the cities of the world are going to expand. We have an obligation to make the new places more liveable, more sustainable, and more healthy. Together Jan believes we can do this!

Cornish Planning success! Chris Dyson Architect

Cornish Planning success!

Chris Dyson Architects has secured planning permission for a cottage extension on the western edge of Bodmin Moor AONB in Cornwall.

The stone cottage situated near Keybridge, adjacent to a grade II listed 17th century stone bridge.

The permission is for a full refurbishment including a new curved single storey extension to accommodate a sunroom and access to a double storey art studio overlooking the river.

The new extension improves and enhances the setting of the listed stone bridge by removing an existing garage structure and creating a setback between the new extension and a series of landscaped terraces.

The scheme was discussed and agreed with the input of the local community and the dark skies policy has also been taken into account in the design and the scheme sensitively responds to its surroundings.
