Two permanent bridges are linked by a narrow diagonal span over Carpenters Lock at the centre of the Olympic Park. During the Olympics a central temporary infill between the bridges accommodates the crowds. In the legacy park, two bowls are created on either side of the lock linking the upper park concourse with the lower level of towpaths and waterways.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
The site for the Grand Egyptian Museum is located at the edge of the first desert plateau between the pyramids and Cairo. It is defined by a 50m level difference, created as the Nile carves its way through the desert to the Mediterranean, a geological condition that has shaped Egypt for over 3,000 years.
Giant’s Causeway Visitors’ Centre
The Giant’s Causeway lies in Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast World Heritage Site, a landscape of cliffs formed by hexagonal basalt stones, agricultural landscapes and cliffside walks. Utilising the large difference in level across the site, two folds are created in the landscape. One, extending the line of the ridge, accommodates the building. The second, extending the level of the road, screens the car park from view.

Student Housing, National University of Ireland, Maynooth
The proposal for student housing is based on a three-sided quad which allows a chain of interlinked quads to be formed, switching direction to respond to orientation or existing buildings.
Quellos Fitout
Office fitout for an asset management firm. The design integrates daylight, artificial light & the reflectivity of surfaces, both vertical & horizontal within the space to create the working environment.
Asian Culture Complex
A hinge is created centred on the existing Memorial Buildings, a hinge between past, present and future, nature and artifice, between enclosure and openness and between space and solid. From the space of Memory, new spaces emerge, connecting the ACC, the Mountains and the River along the Ecological Axis of Gwangju.
