SWA have worked closely with the Home Group to define a range of pre-fabricated, modular housing prototypes for different regions of the UK. . . The prototype system was designed to demonstrate the value of well-designed neighbourhoods, streets and housing that feel like home and provided elements of delight. . .

In October 2018 we began work on an international RIBA design competition called Re-Imagining the Garden City. Of the 95 entries received, we were one of the four which were shortlisted for the second phase of the competition. . . The competition aimed to discover new designs for a modern Garden City to meet the needs of the 21st Century, whilst recapturing the pioneering spirit that led to the development of the world's first Garden City. . . Our landscape-led proposal for Letchworth’s new garden city is a vibrant, economically and environmentally sustainable development which supports and involves a growing community.

As part of our birthday celebrations this year, we have been reflecting on 25 years of sustainability at SWA… Here are a few photos of our lobby exhibition - hopefully some of you saw it at our Practice Shared event as part of LFA! We are currently using this space at 10 Stock Orchard Street to showcase our projects, thoughts and aspirations, outlining what sustainability means to us. Starting with Stock Orchard Street and ending with R20, the exhibition has also been summarised in a postcard which highlights our various interpretations of how sustainability can be imbedded within a project. . . . #sustainability #swa25 #sarahwiggleswortharchitects #sustainablearchitecture #sustainableliving

Hugely appreciative of @_piers_taylor for nominating Sarah for the 2019 #ribagoldmedal as part of Part W’s #alternativeribagoldmedal campaign. . . For those who are new to The Part W collective… @partwcollective is an action group of women - including Sarah - campaigning for gender parity across the built environment. . . In it’s latest campaign, the collective is asking people for suggestions of women that they think would be worthy winners of the Gold Medal. The campaign has been launched to highlight the fact that there has only been one woman as sole winner of the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in its 171-year history, and make people question why this gender imbalance has happened. . . "We're very keen to stress that we are delighted to see Royal Medal continuing to be awarded, and that we support the award and it’s aims," said Founder, Zoë Berman. “This is intended as a playful way to draw attention to important issue.” . . #architecture #builtenvironment #gender #partwcollective #sarahwiggleswortharchitects

It’s the last few days of the RA Summer Exhibition! This years focus is climate change, sustainability and identity politics. Be sure you check it out if you haven’t already! SWA are proud to have 2 images featured this year - here’s a snippet of one of our exhibited works… Haycroft Gardens is a dwelling which has been designed and sized to adapt as the family’s needs and living patterns change over time. This image is the building after 15 years of occupancy. Also, look out for our thermal images of 9/10 Stock Orchard Street taken by Patrick Chester of Enhabit, showing the relative heat loss from the building. This part of our ‘20 years on’ retrofit of Stock Orchard Street. #royalacademyofarts #rasummerexhibition2019 #climatechange #sustainability #architecture #sarahwiggleswortharchitects #intergenerationalliving

Stock Orchard Street: R20 Project Current works at Stock Orchard Street are reminding us of construction 20 years ago! #throwbackthursday R20 is a refurbishment project of 9/10 Stock Orchard Street, focussing on reducing the energy demand of the building and improving user comfort, 20 years after its completion. Proposals for R20 include retrofitting measures, which will ensure optimum building performance for the 20 years to come. The project also incorporates design proposals for ageing in place, ensuring the building is practical and adaptable for the future. #stockorchardstreet #strawbalehouse #refurbishment #architecture #sarahwiggleswortharchitects #sustainability #futureproofing #retrofitting
