At Home in Britain

The Project

JFA was invited to design the installation for ‘At Home in Britain: Designing the House of Tomorrow’, the RIBA's summer blockbuster exhibition for 2016.

The exhibition layout was defined by the use of bespoke aluminium panels, skilfully made by Formost Fabrications, which displayed materials from the RIBA archives as well as newly commissioned design work by six practices re-examining the familiar housing typologies of the cottage, terrace and flat.

'New fruit on old twigs'

As well as designing the installation, JFA was also one of the participating practices.

Our design project, ‘New fruit on old twigs’, re-imagines the cottage vernacular, inspired by a 1955 rural housing study by Alison Smithson in the Yorkshire village of West Burton.
