FAT 2008 Bentley Library, Walsall FAT beat off competition from over 70 submissions to win this RIBA competition i n March 2008. We are now working closely with Walsall Council, the stakeholders and user groups to develop our proposals for the new community library and nursery in Bentley. Hopefully the planning application will be submitted in the summer of t his year. The 630sqm single storey building sits on a brown field site, the site of the fo rmer library, in the heart of suburban Bentley. There are two vertical elements that express the dual functions of the building. These also relate to the tower of the nearby community Church and frame views of the local landmark, the Cairn, which sits at op the adjacent hillock. The library and proposed study centre are arranged around a plinth accessible from the main stre et. The idea is that the combination of the areas principle community buildings will provide a new civic focus for Bentley. T he masterplan for the site also includes: car parking, the nurserys outside play area and a new playground. The library and nursery will be a prominent, but not overwhelming presence at th e junction of the two local roads. The library and nursery are housed in a robust, but beautiful brick building. The bricks are like books sitting on stone or concrete shelves. The bricks are different colours and are arranged to create a magical polychroma tic effect that will give he building a unique identity. The building is punctuated by a variety of windows including: a book s hop style window; circular window looking into the triple height performance space and a screen of diamond shaped north li ghts that pick up the brick patterns on the elevation. We aim to achieve at least a very good rating on our bespoke BREEAM ass essment. FAT 2008 Hoogvliet Heerlijkheid, Rotterdam, The Netherlands FAT is masterplanning a 5.4ha site for a Summer Village and Hobby Park in Hoogvliet, a post-war New Town on the outskirts

of Rotterdam. The park is primarily conceived as a central amenity for residents as part of a major housing regeneration project, but will also attract visitors from further afield. The park masterplan includes a range of community facilities, including hobby huts, a pet cemetery, allotments, shelters, sportsgrounds, an archipelago playgr ound and a boating lake.. The centrepiece of the park is The Villa, a multi-purpose building housing a large hall, a cinema, cafe and rentable space for community organisations. The project is currently under construction. FAT 2008 The Belvedere, St Pauls Way This landmark residential tower, commissioned by a private developer, is situate d at the border of Mile End Park in East London. The site is an awkward triangular shape bordered by main line railway ar ches. The building provides 27 new studio, 1, 2, and 3 bed apartments, all with stunning views over the park, together with a new ground floor restaurant. It is designed to be a gateway marker for the park and incorporates a green planted wall on the Eastern elevation. The other elevations are characterised by a complex lattice pattern which creates a strong visual motif f or the building and also forms the structure for the generous projecting balconies. The building is designed to meet Code 4 for S ustainable Homes, Lifetimes Homes Standards and Secured by Design. FAT 2007 CIAC, Middlehaven, Middlesbrough, UK Fat are working with BioRegional-Quintain Ltd (BQL) to deliver the first phase o f Middlehaven, a major regeneration scheme for a former industrial docklands in Middlesbrough. The Community in a Cube (CIA C) building includes 80 residential units and commercial or retail tenancies at ground level. The design meets a range of targ ets, including the aspirations of the masterplan, construction efficiency and providing lifestyle choices for future residents. Th e BQL One Planet Living principles underpin all aspects of the development, which will meet and exceed the EcoHomes Excellent rati ng. Construction of the 7.5 million building will commence in late 2007. FAT 2007 Lindsay Road Lindsay Road is a proposed development of 34 new homes for sale on the former De erlands School site in Parsons Cross, Sheffield. The design is a response to a competition organised by Sheffield City Council in viting members of its Small Developer Panel to submit proposals for the site. Whilst using sympathetic materials brick facades, timber windows and doors the new houses will be contemporary in character, adding an original and exciting el ement to the area. The design features two important new public spaces: a large wild flower garden with paths and benches t o make it accessible and a Homezone a shared surface providing access through the site. The design aims to achieve a n umber of ambitious targets including: 50% of units compliant with Lifetimes Homes/SCC Mobility Standards; 10% of energy suppl ied by renewable sources; Eco-Homes Very Good rating; Cabe Design for Life Silver standard; Secured by Design accreditati on. 12027 23612 9846 10430 8800 1500 1600 Ramp

The Pavilion will be built within the newly renovated Church Yard Arcade . The design introduces an intriguing and delightful new building into the Church Yard space, using references that include ornamental and decorative street furniture as well as the tiled and patterned fa cades of the Victorian buildings of Liverpool. Our approach has been to design a building within a building, distinct from its surr oundings and acting as a gateway or landmark to the new development. The facade is expressed as a decorative tiled screen and the series of facets al ong it alter the buildings interior spaces and

provide niches for seating and views into Church Yard from the first floor caf an d ground floor retail units. Shop fronts are as large as possible and all windows are tall and vertical in aspect. Either ends o f the screen diminish to lower points to make a comfortable junction between the arcade and the pavilion. At the south end a sen se of activity from the caf terrace is visible into the arcade below. Above View to Pavilion South end main entrance FAT 2006 Islington Square, Manchester FAT were selected unanimously by the future residents to design 23 new houses fo r the Manchester Methodist Housing Group within the New Islington development by Urban Splash. The 2.3 million schem e comprises two to four bedroom family homes and garden areas. Our design unifies the residents desire for traditional hom es with the New Islington masterplan commitment to innovative and world class architecture, and was developed in clos e collaboration with the residents. As part of the New Islington Millenium Community, the Islington Square housing s cheme has been designed to meet ambitious sustainability targets, intended as an exemplar for the future of UK constructio n. The design accomodates Reduction of primary energy, CO2 emissions and water consumption, Green specification of materials an d reduction of construction waste, design for life-cycle adaptability to the Lifetime Homes principles and receives an Eco Homes Excellent Rating. Construction was completed in March 2006. FAT 2006 Sint Lucas Art Academy, Boxtel, The Netherlands. Fat was appointed in 2002 to create a new identity for the school and rationalis e spaces inside and outside. The existing 1960s buildings were given a strong,colourful and unusual new external identity throug h the addition of decorative screens, surface treatments and signage. These elements communicate the inner life of a creative educational institution and enhance the outdoor spaces between the various existing buildings. The interior design increases the sense of identity and legibility in the main c irculation spaces. This is achieved by the integration of communal activities into the main corridors, incorporating study rooms, dinin g facilities and exhibition spaces. These become more street-like with a greater sense of activity and exchange within the buildi ng. Existing circulation spaces were made more generous and new connections made more legible to everyday users and visitors al ike. The 3.5 million phased project was completed in 2006. FAT 2006 Meals Restaurant and Peyton & Byrne Bakery, London FAT were commisioned by restaurateur Oliver Peyton to design a new 100 cover res taurant, Meals within Heals department store in central London alongside a new bakery outlet, Peyton & Byrne in the ent rance lobby. The design of Meals transforms an otherwise undistinguished interior into a richly atmospheric space. It refers to Heals tradition of decorative design but in a stylised and contemporary manner that makes use of digital fabrication technique s. Oak-veneered decorative screens define the main eating areas, framing views to the exterior courtyard as well as creati ng inglenooks and library spaces. A variety of seating types are provided, from long banquettes to intimate single spaces. FATdesigned trompe loeil tables are matched with classic bentwood cafe chairs with pink upholstery to complement the banquettes a nd the pink edged timber panels. Peyton & Byrnes design reflects the clients aspiration to re-create the old-fashi

oned tea shop and bakery in a contemporary manner. The front of the shop is characterised by a large bronze framed picture window full of cakes. The window is set into a minimally detailed black shop front that sits within the listed lobby of Heals de partment store. Inside, the shop is finished in white brick tiles with green grouting. The floor is an Op-Art version of a traditi onal Victorian mosaic floor. Display shelving and units are kept simple and elegant so that the packaging and food becomes part of the design. It is intended to bring to mind an archetypal cake shop. FAT 2006 Croydon Museum of Local History, London A comprehensive redesign and refurbishment of a museum of local history for the London Borough of Croydon, exhibiting artifacts from local domestic and public life. The design weaves these disparate elements into a narrative, telling the story of Croydon in an engaging and imaginative way. Fat worked closely with the museums c uratorial staff to design the object-specific display. Parts of the museum are housed within the historic Courtrooms, the remo delling of which has involved consultation with English Heritage. The 800K project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund an d will be completed in 2006. From top Section through galleries View of proposed exhibition FAT 2007 Grote Koppel, Amersfoort, NL This building, commissioned by a local developer to celebrate the 750th annivers ary of the founding of the city of Amersfoort, sits on an important site adjacent to the Koppel poort (an ancient gateway) in t he mediaeval walls of the old city and fronts onto the River Eem. Fat were required to create an extraordinary architectural object which would re late to both the old city and to the mostly 19th Century warehouses along the riverfront. The exterior of the building is constru cted using pre-cast concrete panels and is designed to be viewed from trains which pass on the eastern flank of the buildin g. The intricate detail of the faade will also provide visual stimulation to pedestrians viewing the building from the Riversid e. Internally, the building will have a grand ceremonial quality created by the the atrically designed staircases and the complex inter-relationship between the central atrium and the balconies/viewing points w hich overlook it. The building will eventually be used as a restaurant. FAT 2006 Bere Regis Masterplan,Dorset FAT were commissioned in 2005 by Grainger PLC to masterplan the sustainable expa nsion of a village in Dorset. As well as the imperative to preserve the traditional village character, the scheme must al so prevent any impact upon the ajacent Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The proposed development will comprise of 35 0 new homes including affordable, new work spaces together with new community amenties including a school, a health centre and a community hall. The new village will make use of the most up-to-date technology for environmental sustainability and will be constructed making full use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). It is intended that the new village will be an ex emplar project which will set new standards for sustainable regeneration. The project is ongoing. FAT 2002 House and Office, 2 Garner Street, London This seminal project, now affectionately known as the blue house has a cartoon-lik e billboard character which communicates

its function as a home and office. The front has a miniature scale, but the side addressing the main street is big in scale. Built for 300,000 the project makes innovative use of standard construction methods. Th e house contains a maisonette for a family of three, an office and a separate apartment. The significance of the blue house as one of the most important houses built this century is widely recognised. It features prominently in numerous publicati ons including the new edition of Pevsners Buildings of England.
