New floors, new stories

"This economical retrofit and extension of an existing arts centre provides inspiring new spaces for art, education and activism. It also shows what can be done on a very limited budget – with a bit of design imagination and engineering know-how."

198 Contemporary Arts & Learning is a case study in Designing Timber for Timber Development UK.

Competition win

We are delighted to have won the competition for an important town centre site in Folkestone; previously a Debenhams store, it is pictured here in its former incarnation as Bobby's department store.

Ewan Green, director of place at Folkestone and Hythe District Council, said CarverHaggard and its team brought ‘a wide breadth of skills and experience to the project and demonstrated their understanding of the brief and evolving requirements of the project exceptionally well’. Green added: ‘Their experience of working successfully on similar projects, with a focus on ensuring flexibility throughout the building design, will be key to the success of this project.'

North End Road

We’ve been working on the community-led redesign of North End Road since 2018, including public space improvements and new tree planting all along this hard-working high street. First few photos by Luke O'Donovan – more to follow soon!

“Improved public realm including ‘dwell spaces’ and widened pavements create more sociable and inclusive places for people to linger and rest.”

Our project for 198 CAL has won the AJ Retrofit Award for Cultural and Religious Building up to £5 million.

We’re excited to be part of one of the shortlisted teams for ‘People at the Centre of Brixton’, a design competition organised by the LFA in partnership with Lambeth Council and Brixton Business Improvement District. The competition invites proposals for an intervention at two key public spaces in the centre of Brixton: Atlantic Road and Windrush Square.
