Great walkabout on Tuesday morning, one of the most exciting projects in london today.

Early railway viaduct built in 1840 by John Braithwaite for the Eastern Counties Railway, formerly set within an extensive brick-vaulted goods yard circa 1880, partially demolished in 2003.

Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent was granted in 2021 by Mayor Sadiq Kahn for a mixed-use development which will include repair and reuse of the viaduct and adjacent historic arches.

CLIMATE
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows*

'The theme of Summer Exhibition 2022 is CLIMATE in all its manifestations. Whether it presents as crisis or opportunity, nightmare or memories, or simply our everyday experience of weather, - CLIMATE is a huge all-embracing and urgent subject.'

Portrack House
RA theme HOPE
Portrack house model submission
HOPE is embedded in all our work at Chris Dyson Architects particularly in this project for Portrack House in Dumfries, Scotland.
The house is surrounded by a bespoke landscape designed by Charles Jencks and Maggie Keswick and the legacy has passed onto their two children.
This particular project has been commissioned by their immediate family and their requirements and further extends the family home of 3 generations.
Each generation has added and adapted the house and surrounding landscape to suit their needs and ambitions.

The tower form is historically connected to the Scottish landscape, often in the form of a defensive keep with thick walls containing all manner of support activities such as; stairs, closets, dressing rooms and priest holes. Louis kahn referred to these as ‘servant and served spaces’ or more politically correct ‘space and subspace’, this historical type is our inspiration for this project.

The accommodation provides a new back door entrance, gym study, boot room, guest bedrooms and a reading room and viewing terrace.

The proposals are for a timber framed tower extension to the existing stone house, identified by the copper coloured model element. The concept is to utilise timber and low embodied energy construction throughout the new building and to enhance the thermal performance of the existing stone house.
The project will utilise locally sourced materials wherever possible.

Our heating strategy will utilise innovative heating technologies and harness the rainwater for grey water recycling alongside a newbuild sewage treatment works.
