Looking back to move forward.

We are very happy to be part of Regenerative Design 2026 at the Building Centre, and to be recognised by Architecture Today and Architects Declare UK as one of this year’s regenerative practices to watch.
Our work is being exhibited alongside an extraordinary collection of practices from across the UK and further afield, each exploring what it might mean to move beyond simply reducing harm and towards creating genuinely positive outcomes for people, places and the natural world.

For us, this feels like an important moment to reflect.

To look back at the projects we are proud of, but also to question them. What worked? What could we have done differently? What have we learnt? And, most importantly, how can those lessons change the way we work next time?

Regenerative design cannot be solved by one practice, one discipline or one project. The challenges we face are interconnected, and so must be our response. That means sharing knowledge, asking difficult questions and building new collaborations between architects, engineers, ecologists, landscape designers, makers, clients, communities and many others.

At a time when the challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, there is something incredibly positive about bringing so many people together who believe that the built environment can, and should, do better.
We joined some brilliant conversations at Building Centre this week and left with plenty to think about. We are looking forward to returning for more over the coming weeks.

Thank you to Architecture Today, UK Architects Declare, the Building Centre and everyone involved in creating a space for this conversation.

There is a lot of work to do. Let’s keep learning, questioning and doing it together.

In an increasingly digital world, we still find value in returning to the analogue✍️

Model making and sketching give us the time to slow down, test ideas, discover unexpected possibilities and consider the small details that can be easily overlooked on screen.

For us, the model is not simply a finished representation of an idea. It is part of the process itself. A way of thinking, making and understanding a space through our hands.

Digital and AI tools are opening up exciting new ways of working and exploring ideas, but we feel it is important that these slower, tactile practices continue alongside them, rather than being lost or replaced.

As architecture becomes increasingly fast-paced and digital, we want to continue making space for these processes, and to remember that the time spent making a model or drawing a sketch is never time lost. It is where ideas are explored, challenged and often found.

We won! 🌳📚

We are incredibly excited to share that Studio 8FOLD, together with Invisible Studio, has been selected as a joint winner of the Architecture Today competition for the Hummingbird Learning Lab.

And this one feels particularly special.

Hummingbird is rethinking what a learning environment can be. A place rooted in inquiry, curiosity and discovery, where learning happens through experiencing the real world, having a go, testing ideas and trying again.
A place that encourages young people to be caring, curious, courageous, calm in uncertainty and committed. To develop agency, nurture wellbeing and understand their ability to have a positive impact on themselves, others and the world around them.
What might the architecture for that look like?
We are not going to give too much away just yet.
What we can say is that we are enormously excited to explore that question alongside Invisible Studio and Pearce+.
Importantly, this will not be architecture developed in a silo.
From the outset, our thinking has been shaped through collaboration with Simple Works and Regenerative Works on structures and systems, Ian Boyd of Common Space on ecology, and Ben Webb of Planit on regenerative landscape design.
We are very grateful to the whole team for the thinking, conversations and generosity that helped us get here.
There is a lot still to discover, test and learn together. Which feels rather appropriate.
More soon.

A new chapter for 7 Homer Street

Hidden behind this Marylebone facade is a building with more than 175 years of stories to tell.
The Beehive at 7 Homer Street can be traced back to at least 1848, when it appeared in the Post Office Directory as a neighbourhood b**r house. For more than 160 years it remained a small local pub, serving the residents, tradespeople and workers of Marylebone.

But it was never simply a pub. Historic records show generations of publicans living above it with their families, alongside barmaids, servants and even travelling musicians. It was simultaneously a place of work, gathering and home.

The building has changed considerably since then, but traces of its past remain throughout.
We are now preparing for its next chapter.

These images capture the building as we find it today, alongside a glimpse of its former life and some of the conversations happening on site as we develop the interiors with our client and design team.
Our approach is about understanding what is already here, retaining and restoring the character that gives the building its identity, while carefully introducing a new layer of contemporary living. After many months of surveying, uncovering, drawing, discussing and designing, we are incredibly excited that works at 7 Homer Street will soon begin on site.

More to come as the building starts to reveal itself.

CMYK: Colours in Motion 🤹

A recent shortlisted proposal for Higgs Yard in Loughborough Junction, developed through a brilliant collaboration with Peabody, The Brixton Project, EcoResponsive Environments and artist Saul Thompson.
Our starting point was to imagine the existing 80 metre wall as a kind of community printing press, capturing and layering the stories, movement and character of Loughborough Junction.

Drawing on the logic of CMYK printing, cyan, magenta, yellow and black became a framework for exploring sound, texture, atmosphere and narrative. These layers come together through community workshops, drawing and mapping to create a collective portrait of the neighbourhood.

The artwork itself was conceived to change as you move through the space. Colour, linework and imagery fragment across the existing buttresses, before aligning from particular viewpoints to reveal larger anamorphic compositions. A little moment of discovery within the everyday journey through Higgs Yard.
At the heart of the proposal was the idea that public art should emerge from a place rather than simply be applied to it, with local stories, journeys and experiences directly shaping the final work.

We were delighted to have been shortlisted. Although this one did not make it over the final line, we loved developing it and working with such a great group of local collaborators.

Every successful project begins with a conversation.

Our workshops are designed to bring clients, stakeholders and design teams together around a shared table. Through discussion, sketching and simple Post-it note exercises, we uncover the priorities that matter most and create a common understanding from the very beginning.

This collaborative process helps us find the sweet spot where vision, brief and budget align. It is where ideas are tested, assumptions are challenged and opportunities emerge long before lines are drawn on a plan.

Whether we are working on a family home, a hotel, a workplace or an Early Childhood Development Centre, the principle remains the same. Great design is not created in isolation. It grows through listening, collaboration and a shared ambition to create places with lasting value.

Education Africa
Early Childhood Development Centres

Every project begins with a belief that good design can create lasting change.
Our work with Education Africa and its Early Childhood Development Centres is about far more than constructing buildings. It is about creating safe, inspiring places where children can learn, play and begin their educational journey with dignity and opportunity.

These aerial moments capture just a small part of that journey, from the first stages of construction through to completed centres filled with light, colour and purpose. Each project represents the commitment of an incredible team of local communities, partners, volunteers and supporters who make this work possible.

As we look ahead, we are excited to grow this programme together. Our ambition is to increase delivery from one Early Childhood Development Centre each year to two centres in 2027, four in 2028 and six in 2029, allowing many more children and communities to benefit from well designed spaces that have a lasting impact.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. This is only the beginning, and we cannot wait to share the next chapter.

New Cross, london.

Early sketches for a new project in New Cross, developed in close collaboration with the client- a designer and maker, to reimagine and extend their home. The proposal explores a careful balance between craft and architecture, with a strong emphasis on materiality, tactility, and detail.

Hackney, London

Concept visual for the renovation of a Victorian terrace in Hackney. (And a before photo for reference!)

Without extending the footprint, the project explores carving a double-height mezzanine within the existing volume, alongside terraced landscaping to give the dining space a stronger connection to the garden. Working with the existing fabric and structural openings as much as possible, we are proposing to radically transform the internal experience with minimal intervention.

Delighted to have received planning and looking forward to getting on site soon!
