The project for St Berts involves the modest redevelopment of a small, modern church in the borough of Halton, Nr Runcorn. The project focus is on improved accessibility, a more welcoming entrance, improved flexible community spaces to include kitchen and cafe, training and counselling spaces. This is a project that has emerged through substantial community collaboration with a wide variety of organisations to deliver significant improvements to the building, keeping hold of an ambitious vision that can be delivered within a tight budget. \u00a0The design reflects the aesthetic of modern church architecture; is open, calm and simple, connecting previous introverted […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

This property has been completely refurbished and extended to provide a stunning family home in Leeds. The design approach was to restore key elements of the historic building, with contemporary new additions that reflect the context and proportions of the Victorian villa. The house was re-orientated around a new cobbled courtyard, green-roofed loggia and entrance with high-level, glazed lanterns that bring lots of light and drama into the interior spaces. The stairwell was remodelled with double height spaces providing an elegant route through the heart of the house with long views and visual connections, including from a beautiful bedroom suite […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Weavers Terrace provide high-quality modern homes set within a stunning village and heritage setting. \u00a0The terrace forms the first phase of the redevelopment site;\u00a0Gagarin having worked closely with Clay Developments to complete the project.\u00a0 The homes are robustly detailed and super-insulated for the exposed, hillside setting whilst making the most of the context by connecting and framing the stunning views and landscape beyond. Each home is designed with a\u00a0generous arrangement of domestic spaces that are both flexible and light-filled. The Terrace replaces a former weavers shed which was originally on the site, establishing a new courtyard between the listed mill […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The Pennine farmhouse is a Grade 2 listed property on the edge of the hilltop village of Heptonstall in the Calder Valley. It’s made up of a string of buildings, cottage, barn ancillary building which stagger down the terrain toward a large garden and impressive views. The owners used only a small part of the property, the barn being used infrequently as it was a large cold space to inhabit permanently. The brief was to decant life to the south, garden end of the property, bringing the ancillary building and barn into better use and enabling better connection to the […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The new footbridge for the Climate Innovation District is on the old Low Fold Mill site, \u00a0located over the River Aire in Leeds. The bridge design is a collaborative exploration by GAGARIN and DP Squared and creates a simple yet visually fascinating river crossing for pedestrians either on foot, by bike, wheelchair or boat; connecting\u00a0developments to the left and right bank, the tow path, the wider area of the River Aire and the city centre beyond. The 50 metre long bridge is formed in a series of profiled corten steel slats which appear to fold and crank across its length. […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Gagarin Studio and DP Squared Engineers, working with The Landscape Agency have completed a new bridge at RHS Garden Harlow Carr, North Yorkshire. The Thaliana Bridge spans over the Queen Mother Lake at the south end of the gardens creating improved access, new routes and new views to and from the bridge across the water. New lakeside gardens are proposed by The Landscape Agency and an existing bank of trees will be strengthened to provide a more effective buffer to the adjacent road noise. The bridge design is inspired by the pioneering research of Dr Rachel Leech and her genome […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

One of our favourite contextual projects perched on the edge of the moors above Old Town, Hebden Bridge. The listed house, remodel and extension provides for a multi-generational family and the design allows everyone enough space and flexibility to be as together or independent as they want. The extension aims to frame the stunning Pennine setting whilst referencing the mullioned \u2018weavers cottage windows\u2019 of the main house and the ‘green roof’ blending beautifully with the moorland in which it’s located.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Gagarin Studio were lead designers for the architecture, interiors, furniture and detail design of\u00a0 the project. The scheme completed in October 2018 creates a new family dwelling within a hamlet on an upland Pennine site.

This project in rural South Yorkshire, sees the conversion of a redundant Victorian Coach house with the addition of a substantial extension; providing a contemporary, economical and sustainable family home for a museum curator, designer and their young family.\u00a0The house orientates around the sun, garden and adjoining woodland to provide spacious, workable and open family living-accommodation. Materials are sustainable, affordable and modern; offset by the texture and warmth of the existing building fabric. The low-level, rear addition mirrors the form of the original coach house whilst the two-storey extension provides a \u00a0‘book end’ of sleeping accommodation.

Our design for a modern replacement dwelling in the Lake District National Park received full support from the Local Planning Authority. Whilst undeniably a modern house, we wanted to ensure that this was a sensitive piece of contextual design, \u00a0and one that reflected the vernacular form and materials of the Lake District, \u00a0balanced with a modern approach to living. The design sets the house into the hillside topography, elevating the living spaces with glorious views out over Ullswater and up to Helvellyn. The scheme makes the most of the landscape, framing the fells and maximising light within the interior and […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>","max_pages":3}
