The directors have won three Europan competitions for housing led regeneration; 1999, 2001 and 2005. Participation in Europan enabled the practice to establish itself in 2002 with a clear position on architecture's role in supporting social engagement through the relationship between buildings and the public realm. We have maintained our contribution to a European platform of design and debate when in 2003 we won the Flemish Government sponsored competition for new housing and a public space in Gistel, Belgium (currently progressing). In 2005, following the completion of Amnesty International UK's new headquarters in Shoreditch (winner of Hackney Design Award in 2007), the practice was selected for the AJ/Corus 40 under 40 exhibition and were runners-up in Building Design's Young Architect of the Year Award. Our work has been included in exhibitions in Geneva, Leige, Dordrecht, London and the Sao Paulo Biennale in 2003 and was selected for the 'Darkside' series presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2006. Some of our current projects will be exhibited along with an accompanying lecture at the New York Centre for Architecture as one of six practices in New Practices London, August 2007.
