Interface has been awarded a gold medal from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for its contribution to the Biophilic Classroom Study in partnership with Putney High School.
The company’s Human Connections flooring solution was on display in a replica of the pioneering classroom at the show in September. The ‘FLOURISH at Putney High School’ stand showcases the biophilic classroom created using design principles that promote students’ connectivity to nature. The Biophilic Classroom Study is part of the Putney High School’s ‘Breathe’ campaign, which examines its environmental impact on the local community and the planet.

Willmott Dixon lands latest Rochdale regeneration scheme Willmott Dixon has been appointed by Rochdale Borough Council for another large regeneration project, which will see the company deliver 242 apartments and a Hampton by Hilton hotel in the town centre. As of mid-October,
work on the £60m scheme, known as Upperbanks, was due to start ‘imminently’, though the main construction phase is expected to commence next spring. It is set to be completed in 2024.
Willmott Dixon aims to ensure that 40% of its local spend is used within a 20 mile radius of the site, and 75% is used within 40 miles of the development.
Upperbanks has already generated more than £20m of external funding, attracting over £17m from the government’s Future High Streets Fund and more than £3m from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s Brownfield Development Fund.

Page\Park complete new gallery
building for the Great Tapestry of Scotland
Architecture practice Page\Park has completed the Great Tapestry of Scotland Gallery. Located in Galashiels, at the heart of the Scottish Borders, the building was designed to house the Great Tapestry of Scotland, a unique visual history of the nation crafted by the hands of 1000 stitchers. The architectural vision was to create
a distinctive building rooted in its physical and historical context, with a special room for the tapestry at its heart. The dramatic geometric roof design is inspired by the unique roofscape of towers, dormers, gables and pitched roofs that defines the architectural character of Galashiels. The new gallery inserts into this roofscape as a
contemporary and playful reimagining of the traditional Victorian pitched roof. The ground floor houses a temporary gallery space, reception, shop, cafe and education space. The palette of colour and texture reflects the nuance and detail of the tapestry, as well as the rich landscape of the Borders. Warm colours such as yellow, green, grey and gold are used throughout, from fitted furniture to the exhibition display cases to the signage. Bespoke signage provides a clear and minimal graphic to avoid visual clutter. The overarching theme of ‘textile’ is integrated at every level from the herringbone pattern of the floor tiles to the bespoke fabric wall panels in the Tapestry Gallery.

Work commences on site for new QPR training ground
Construction of a new training facility for Queens Park Rangers is now under way. The design, by architects Studio Zoppini, was approved by the London Borough of Hounslow following endorsement from the Mayor of London and the Secretary of State. The training ground unifies
all components of the football club: the first team, U23s and academy players are brought together under one facility. The 23 acre site sits
within a green belt. The design had to be sensitive to its location while providing an aspirational environment for club representatives as well as being a positive addition to the local community.
