We have recently been commissioned to design a house in the outskirts of Pfullingen in Southern Germany. The site is located on a slope overlooking the old town in the foothills of the Swabian Jura mountain range.

City engineering academics enable innovation in RIBA’s Regent Street Windows Project 2012
We have just completed this residential conversion in North London. The project comprised a substantial renovation to all three floors of the existing Victorian end of terrace house, including rear extensions to create increased kitchen space at ground floor level, and a new studio at roof level.
Delvendahl Martin’s installation featured in the RIBA Regent Street Windows Project 2012 video
The RIBA Regent Street Window frames sit in the workshop before installation. Each frame took an average of 10 hrs to ‘weave’ and required approximately 1 km of waxed cotton string. We would like to thank everyone who helped in the process. Photos and video of the installation on site will follow shortly.
The installation has also been mentioned in The Guardian.
The practice has been selected to take part in the RIBA Regent Street Window Project. Working in collaboration with menswear brand Moss Bros, the proposal explores the possibilities of the shop windows by distorting the perception of depth and perspective as viewed from the street. This will be achieved by using hundreds of cotton strings to stitch the edges of the window space to form a series of seemingly floating voids, where the three main strands of Moss Bros products will be displayed. The material expression of the cotton strings will recall the raw materials of garments, the loom-based manufacturing process of cloth, and the craftsmanship of the Moss Bespoke service.
We have recently been commissioned to design a studio for two ceramicists in the heart of Broadway Market Mews, a street with a long tradition of makers. The project will include a workshop and a gallery space.
Planning permission has been granted for Hill House. A roof with a view was the key idea behind the brief for this four-bedroom house in south London. The site, located on one of the highest points of the area, enjoys unique views over the city. By using an existing single storey bungalow as a podium, the proposed rooftop extension will take full advantage of the location.
Fabrications has been shortlisted for NLA’s Don’t Move Improve! awards 2012, in the category of Office Extension or Refurbishment.The project will be on display at The Building Centre until March 28 as part of an exhibition of all the shortlisted schemes.
