RIBA Journal: Amanda Baillieu (Venus)

“How is such a contemporary addition possible in a small rural village?”

Grand Designs Magazine: Trish Lorenz (The Pink House)

“Chance de Silva’s inspired creation of two linked buildings at Cargo Fleet, north London, successfully addresses the changing face of the domestic”

 The Architects’ Journal: Andrea Wulf (Cargo Fleet)

“Out of this world”

The Sunday Times: Hugh Pearman (Venus)

“In the Whistler Street project, Brooks worked closely with the architects, who were creating a pair of experimental new-build houses using an unusual cladding material.”

Colours of Architecture: Andrew Moor (Cargo Fleet)

“We hear a lot about changes in family structures and the way people work and live, but remarkably few houses reflect this in their designs. One that does is Cargo Fleet.”

Wood Houses: Ruth Slavid (Cargo Fleet)

“The house commentates both on the changing nature of England’s industrial and built heritage, and on the increasing complexity of people’s lives. A bold and challenging statement, it raises as many questions as it answers.”

New London Architecture: Kenneth Powell with Cathy Strongman (Cargo Fleet)

“Tardis-like: the apparently narrow exterior conceals a three-level, airy. Japanese-inspired space”

 The Guardian: Lesley Gillilan

“Two proud owners, one rusting house”

The Times

“Fleeting glance”

Architects’ Journal

“Designed by the architects as their home, they took the unusual step of using steel. We find out if the gamble paid off”

Grand Designs

“In a quiet north London street, two young architects have managed against fairly stiff odds to build a modern folly with a Japanese twist.”
