latest news and projects

Architecture Week 2007 is a good time to announce one of our latest commissions to develop an environmentally sound refurbishment proposal for terrace properties in Stoke-on-Trent. Continuing our explorations into solar passive architecture, the design delivers robust, replicable solutions to both the improvement of the fabric, the quality of the living space and the thermal performance.

Here’s a copy of our winning presentation and a fly-by model of the exterior showing the 2 storey spaces proposed as replacements to the standard usually outrigger found on Victorian terrace housing. The submission was completed in collaboration with Staffordshire Housing Association and Brown & Clowes for Renew North Staffordshire and Newcastle-Under-Lyme Borough Council.

Welcome to Architecture Week 2007! Once again Axis Design will be taking part in Open Practice day in Birmingham and welcoming visitors to the office to talk to us about our work.

The topic this year is How Green Is Our Space? and we’ll have plenty to talk about after another year of successful project developments that continue to tackle housing sustainability. Come and see our ongoing work on innovative housing in Stourbridge, talk to us about the passive solar architecture spaces we’re designing in collaboration with Hockerton Housing Project, give us your thoughts on our latest commission to design ‘eco-terrace’ refurbishments to properties in Stoke-on-Trent.

Details can also be found at the official Architecture Week web site and you can still download the specially made podcast and Google Earth route from last year to help you find the office on foot!
