Liverpool Hope University
Liverpool Hope University wanted to refurbish the existing Sheppard Worlock library within their campus. The brief was to provide a high-quality library which accommodated private and flexible study areas, improved IT facilities, catering facilities, and a pressurised storage vault for historic documents.
Works involved the internal refurbishment of a collection of buildings and the creation of an external connection. An outbuilding was used to house the high pressurised storage facility for particularly historically important and sensitive documents.
The library was separated into different zones – entrance; café; book storage; quiet study zones; flexible study zones; I.T facilities and storage. Interior fixtures, fittings and colours were used to differentiate these spaces.
Concept images were provided for individual storage pods which were inspired by the library’s ecclesiastical connection. The 1980’s staircase was hidden by bespoke bookcases. This also helped to improve the flow of the space – to avoid dead spaces which typically occur underneath and around large staircases.
Works were completed in 2012.
Avenue HeightsThe project brief was to extend a existing linear residential block on the edge of Crouch End, North London. As the design developed, the client extended the works to demolish and rebuild the linear block to improve the quality of the apartments whilst maintaining the contemporary architectural style.

DalstonThe brief was to develop this existing building on Kingsland Road, Dalston, into a mixed use commercial and residential project. The site, located on an old Roman road, has historic significance and was developed in the late 19th Century. The area was significantly bomb damaged during the Second World War, which explains why this building differs architecturally from the terrace resides. T2S felt it was logical to reinstate the Georgian terrace style to the front, whilst proposing a modern extension at the rear to retain a sense of historic honesty to the design.

New MaldenThe client's brief was to develop the upper floors whilst retaining the existing Commercial space on ground floor. Planning permission is sought for 9 residential apartments within a modern building over 5 stories. The intention is to occupy the commercial space before the rest of the development is completed so the team has had to factor this into the design. The existing first floor, roofs, structure and slab will be removed; with the existing external walls on ground floor retained creating the Commercial demise. This allows for a cleaner phasing of the construction works.
