"Exemplifying seamless integration of new and old, Witherford Watson Mann's discreet union at Clare College, Cambridge, showcases a harmonious blend of modern resolution within historical circulation pathways. The meticulously crafted triple-height extension not only enhances coherence and accessibility but also embodies a sensorially rich architectural experience with its use of natural, finely wrought materials. The distinctive staircase, a focal point of the extension, serves not only as a means of emergency egress but also as a sculptural masterpiece. From its immaculate oak carpentry to panoramic views offered through full-height windows, every detail invites tactile and visual engagement with the university's historic gardens and the River Cam. By seamlessly melding materials such as oak, brick, and Purbeck stone, the architectural team preserves the essence of the historic building while infusing it with new life and functionality. This strategic approach not only ensures continuity but also allows the structure to age gracefully, evolving into a richer version of itself over time. With 300 meticulously designed mortise-and-tenon joints, the prefabricated oak framework stands as a testament to precision and innovation, seamlessly navigating the existing building's idiosyncrasies. This fusion of technical expertise and aesthetic sensitivity not only elevates the architectural discourse but also sets a benchmark for sustainable, enduring design practices. #Architecture #HistoricPreservation #MaterialsIntegration #InnovativeDesign #ClareCollegeCambridge #WitherfordWatsonMann"

Last week, our Head of Fire Safety, Josh Alderson, was invited to speak at MSB's hoarding workshop. Josh covered the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the responsibilities of Responsible Persons under this legislation. He also discussed the fire safety risks associated with hoarding, which affects about 5% of the population, and highlighted key considerations for landlords and housing providers. The focus on this session was on ensuring support is provided and conducting 'person-centred' fire risk assessments for residents identified as vulnerable. It's more common than many people realise. #FireSafety #FireRisk #FireRiskAssessment #UKHousing #SocialHousing #ResponsiblePersons
