Building Interior Decorating of Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre by Hopkins Architects. A rare combination of intellectual and industrial functions in one building for oil exploration and drilling technology.

Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre - Hopkins Architects

Schlumberger’s soaring masts, and glowing, billowing fabric roof point into the Fenland sky, along with King’s College Chapel. Its appearance on the skyline may be romantic, but this is essentially a practical building, with a subtle relationship between form and function.

Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre - Hopkins Architects

Under the fabric roof are the drilling-rig test station and the main social space known as the ‘winter garden’. Both benefit from the roof form, the workshop because it needs height for drilling and the winter garden because its light and shape gives it the character of an outdoor space, while protecting it from the weather. The fabric covering is Teflon coated glass fibre. It is uninsulated and transmits about 13% daylight.

A cat’s cradle of cables transmits the weight of the fabric to the ground via four structures like suspension bridges. Beside these main spaces are layers of smaller ones in two independently structured wings; monitoring and planning rooms look into the workshop, and small private offices line the outside face, where they enjoy views over the landscape. Weaving the spaces together is a network of circulation and informal meeting spaces, encouraging that vital casual contact between colleagues within a scientific community.

Brent Civic Centre - Hopkins Architects

The new development, in the context of two established icons, Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena, will realise the Council’s vision for a community building consolidating their civic, public and administrative functions on to one site. It will streamline the efficient delivery of services to Brent’s diverse community and kick-start regeneration of the northern part of the Wembley Masterplan. As a development of our work in Hackney, Brent’s new Civic Centre is a further step towards establishing an efficient and sustainable model for civic buildings delivering public services.

Located in the heart of Wembley, it will become a new landmark and public ‘place’ for the residents of Brent providing a wide range of community facilities under one roof, as well as accommodating 2,000 council staff and councillors.Within the Civic Centre, Hopkins has designed a new multi-purpose community hall, which will accommodate theatre, concerts and large wedding receptions.

The soaring foyer and atrium has been designed as a flexible space within which a large public staircase will become seating for “Wembley Live” performance events. Other functions will include a one-stop shop and a state-of-the-art library and learning centre. The building aims to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ through a combination of solar shading, natural ventilation, façade performance and combined cooling, heating and power utilising waste vegetable oil.

Spice Temple, Sydney - Batessmart

The dining room is warm and dramatically lit and whilst there is little in the way of overt reference to Asia, the space is intimate, relaxed and sexy, with subtle influences of the exotic street hawker food markets in China.

Spice Temple, Sydney - Batessmart

The menu at Spice Temple pays homage to the history of the Sichuan provinces and the contrasting tastes and textures enjoyed in Asian cuisine.

The restaurant is designed to compliment this philosophy with a play on textures, light and shade and unexpected vistas through the space.
