A Star English is live!!!

Dot. worked as design consultants to help the English Tuition firm A star rebrand their tired image and give themselves a new lease of life.  A star instructed Dot. to redesign their logo and work alongside their webdesigner to give their site an exciting new look. Check out www.astarenglish.com - client and Dot. are pleased with the outcome

Half of Dot. are having another girl!

James W. And that will make two... Currently 21 weeks in and already counting the days untill the begining of June.

Roll on sleepless nights, dirty nappies and all the ups and downs on the roller coaster that is parenthood....

Another approval for Dot. Architecture in Bournemouth.....

Now that it's official and government figures confirm that we are in a recession - something millions of us have know for some time, Dot. architecture are even more pleased to announce that our recent scheme at Southcote Road, Bournemouth, Dorset has just been approved.

Providing eight one bedroom apartments close to all the town centres amenities, this scheme is bucking the recent trend, showing that there is still development potential out there even for the somewhat depleted buy to let market. Lets hope this continues.....

DOT Green - Eco / Sustainable solutions for all !

DOT Architecture are happy to announce that the scheme  at Avon View, Ringwood, Dorset is moving forward and close to completion. It is a milestone for DOT with us pushing forward with Sustainable design/ architecture. 

The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) aims to achieve a step-change in environmental performance of new UK homes. The Code is targeted at architects, home designers and builders of new homes. It covers water use, waste generation, and the use of low-polluting materials and processes.DOT are going to great lengths to be sure that we are up on all Eco options for clients. This may be small things to help developers reach code 3, or more in depth solutions for home owners. Sustainable solutions include Solar panels, Ground source Heat pumps, Air source heat pumps, and many more, so feel free to contact DOT. to help you realise what is best for you. 

Thats the way Zaha-aha, i like it!

Here are the latest images from Zaha Hadids competition winning scheme for a new campus at the University of Vienna. 

As expected with Hadid, no line is perpendicular. The overhanging triple height space which looks to be clad in a Zinc is a dream element. 

Vienna is going through a stage of real investment at the moment, and this just shows that they are willing to experiment. This competition win comes off the back of a very successful few years for Hadid, which saw her pick up a few UK projects including the Aqua Centre for the London 2012 Olympics.
