Seems to have been a stock in trace over recent years, lots of podium decks and tight BREEAM friendly garden design for new residential blocks across London and the South East,

Made the final cut of the CABE competition to dramitically re-vision Dovers promenade. This comprised a beach extension along the new harbour arm enlivened by new buildings and water access along sculpturally re-interpreted groynes, providing defence, access and character. We might even see some of these in the new waster front master plan (no credit would be typical though).

We found the forgotten Civil War fortification of London, so we built a concrete model..... the map model was on display in Spitalfields and even got ranked as one of the top 500 pieces of public art... in the world.... ever.... not bad to be lined up alongside the Sphinx and Trevi Fountain....

As a part of the RIBAs Regent Street windows project craft:pegg were partnered with the National Geographic Store because "Let's face it guys, nobody does maps better than you". OK we like maps but Mr Mercator was a bit better in our view. Received plaudits galore, more column inches than other windows baby.... still just a pretty combination of green walls and yellow mag stacks in a matrix of recycled tubes. Pretty and Green, that's us.

Sorting out retail with open space character with the ever brilliant Portland. Portland recognised the need for the whole creation of Romes Covent Garden to be centred on the open spaces, so we and Mr Nolli obliged, helping OMA to retail perfection....

A garden village in the hills overlooking Beirut. Previously abandoned by the Syrian army artillery this former hospital site was to become the core of a new high end housing development. craft:pegg was tasked with block layouts and open space design, taking the tenants of the Garden Village movement to the Levant. Fun and some interesting anecdotes about fleeing men with guns..........

undertaken whilst at LDA, loads of craft:pegg language was developed here, check out the paving joints and non-vertical elements, you can probably spot their evolution into Grand Canal Square and later Splash Point. Same designer, different corporate credit which is definitely LDA

definitely an MSI project. John and Paula were on point with Tiros in Dublin. Red paving and funky lights are us....

Urban campus design at Mo Farah's alma mata. A great new public Square as well as a campus wide landscape master plan and Student Union revival.

Started under MSI finished under craft:pegg. Entrance and side plaze pools, canopies and loads of light....

Formerly a training centre for Sainsburys. John worked on this as an embryonic landscape architect for the not famous enough HIGSON PEARSON. a genius practice that taught John all the good stuff he knows. Not much to say other than it was a blast and thank you for the break... Thank you Pirkko and Stuart. Naturally FAnhams Hall helped Higson Pearson sweep the board with pretty much every award gong in the early 90's.

Conceived and developed by craft:pegg since 2006 the craft:pegg copyrighted and authored design received a grant from the Libor fund which is now taking the project forward to planning.

Another Competition win, this time for the inaugural RIBA Forgotten Spaces Competition. What is London's most significant forgotten space.... the Thames obviously a vast plane that runs from suburb to centre that was the city's raison d'etre crowded from shore to shore with commerce and activity. the archipelago is a chain of floating islands some for ecological benefit and some commercial and soe simple human habitats running in a chain through our home city.
