Their first competition win outside Edinburgh, this new building for the innovative arts organisation NVA, will include a single cell ETFE ‘bubble’ roof. It will integrate with the Hidden Gardens, a landscape project also coordinated by NVA, designed by City Design Cooperative collaborating with various Scottish artists. hidden gardens community hq : image from Oliver Chapman Architects The architect, Oliver Chapman said that ‘it is to be an introverted building that will make small interior and exterior enclosures within the existing semi-demolished brick structures on the site. We hope that this will help create a sense of security and intimacy for the various communities that may use the building’. If lottery funding is secured the project could be under-way early next year. Oliver Chapman Architects are a young practice that have recently finished a dramatic house extension for international lighting designer Jonathan Speirs and also won an Edinburgh Architectural Association award this year for their ‘Bed Box’ project.
