'The Segal approach was essentially that of the medieval English house, or the American frame-house, or the Japanese house, but with the timber frame calculated and based on modular dimensions to avoid waste and to facilitate alterations and enlargements.’
- Colin Ward

With shows and projects postponed due to the pandemic and without access to a studio I figured it time to realise a long-held dream to design a self-build after Walter Segal’s 1960s method. The resulting flat roof studio building was designed and built using timber-frame post and beam construction.

THE CONISTON CRICKET PAVILION, Architecture competition shortlist, 2013

Artists Giles Round and Sarah Staton in collaboration with architect Dominic Cullinan were shortlisted in a competition to design the new Coniston Cricket Pavilion.

The project is advocating a multi-functional construction, which could double as a contemporary holiday let, bakery, or some other amenity otherwise absent in the village, outside of the cricket season, with the aim of encouraging greater involvement within the various village groups, showing an alternative model for how villages can be designed. One of the crucial points of the project is to bring greater involvement, integration and use of the amazing grounds within the village, as well as securing the financial future of the clubs.
