New kitchen and sun-room, faced in blue engineering brick, open up end-of-terrace home in Crouch End, London

The newbuild family home features a façade of specially commissioned ‘Black Volcano’ brickwork which lends the house its name

The 10-unit Grosvenor Avenue scheme draws on a townhouse typology to infill a Victorian terrace

The installation, part of the artist duo’s survey exhibition This is How We Bite Our Tongue, points to ‘a loss of faith in public space in an era of austerity’

In its ambition to be a trailblazing and trend-setting office design, this building is the spiritual successor of Foster’s 1975 Willis building, writes Jon Astbury. Photography by Jim Stephenson

The building’s former use has inspired the design of this £750,000 retrofit and extension

This retrofit project in Wrexham creates a space where art can work cheek-by-jowl with commercial and community uses, writes Jon Astbury. Photography James Morris

Retaining three of the original façades, this retrofit provides 21 new housing units

The £1 million refurb has stripped away incremental alterations to the 1950s building and restored its original colour scheme
