Nijmegen City Bridge “De Oversteek”

The project by NeyPoulissen Architects & Engineers includes a tied-arch bridge over the Waal river with a clear span of 285 m, as well as the approach viaducts that make up a total length of 1.2 km.

Salamanca House by Parsonson Architects

This site was subdivided from the original property which contained an existing house designed and lived in by the Government Architect John Campbell in the early 1900’s. It is historically listed and we were therefore keen for the new house to be lower and more subservient in its appearance to the original house while at the same time relating to it formally.

Three years... 

Charleston Museum – Entry by Dow Jones Architects

Charleston has existed as a group of agricultural buildings for at least the last 500 years. Its inhabitation by the Bloomsbury Group for most of the last 100 years has marked it as an extraordinary place, telling the story of the lives of a group of artists in the most direct and intimate way. Our proposal adapts the buildings surrounding the farmhouse to make new spaces for the creation and display of art, continuing the pattern of use started by...
