“SymHouse Mk1 extended [Piercy&Company's] proven track record of innovative housing design, however, their proposal went one stage further with an ingenious spatial strategy. By proposing a conditioned inner core set within a peripheral layer of more responsive inside /outside spaces, this scheme satisfied not only the environmental aspirations of the brief, allowing both ‘natures’ to successfully co-exist, but also the social aspirations.” |
