  Bayman House & Office shortlisted for AJ Small Projects Award

  In the second of a rare brace of blog posts today, I’m delighted to report that Tim Bayman Architecture’s house & office, which I photographed last year, has been shortlisted for the AJ Small Projects Award (you might need to be a registered user to see that article, I’m afraid) As they started doing with the RIBA awards last year, each project gets its own cover.

  

  …Which means one of my shots is on the cover of (one in twelve) Architects’ Journal(s) again! Nice to have, so early in the year.

  On symmetry and serendipity - a photograph in Marrakech

  Here’s a photograph from my last trip to Marrakech:

  

  Sit, my friends, and I shall tell you the long, rambling, obsessive tale of how I took it…

  Andrew Doolan Award shortlist

  The shortlist for the Andrew Doolan Best Building In Scotland Award has been announced, and I’m pleased to say that of the thirteen projects nominated, I photographed three and a half of them! You’ve heard of the RIBA Stirling Prize for the year’s best British building? Well, this is the same kind of deal for Scotland, and the prize money is higher - the highest of any architecture award in the UK, actually.

  Hang on, Dave. Three and a half? Well, yes. Sort of. Here they are, in the order I photographed them:

  Garscube Link by 7N Architects

  

  

  Dundee House City Council offices, by Reiach And Hall Architects

  

  

  Linlithgow Burgh Halls by Malcolm Fraser Architects

  

  
  
  …And the ‘half’? The National Museum of Scotland, by Gareth Hoskins Architects

  

  I say ‘half’ because I took the museum photos for Building Design Magazine, rather than the architects. The excellent Andrew Lee shot photographs for them, and many of the other nominated designers too!

  You can read more about the award and see the full shortlist at Urban Realm or the Architects Journal. My congratulations to all the architects nominated, and the best of luck to them. My own personal favourite? Sorry, not telling!

  Recent publication

  It’s been a busy summer, with lots of interesting jobs, and a fair few bits of interesting publication - online, internationally and nationally. A few of the more interesting for me, though…

  First off, possibly the most interesting job of the year so far for me: Reiach and Hall Architects’ new Dundee House offices for the council of that fine city. A beautiful - and very large! - project to spend time photographing, and one which was featured in an extensive article, and the cover of, the Architects’ Journal in July.

  

  Only last week, I received a very interesting job from Building Design magazine, taking photographs to accompany Malcolm Fraser’s review of Gareth Hoskin’s recent refurbishment of the fantastic National Museum of Scotland.  In the end I had only 24 hours to photograph, process and issue all my shots, which was quite the challenge! Still, thanks to the large physical size of Building Design’s pages, they’ve probably made the biggest prints of my photos to date.

  

  And finally, the house extension photographs I took earlier in the year for my former colleague, award-winner and generally splendid architect Craig Amy are published in October’s Homebuilding and Renovating magazine.

  AJ Cover

  Always nice to see ones work published, especially when you get a cover shot!

  

  I took this one quite a while back - on a freezing cold February morning, if I remember rightly - when I worked for Richard Murphy Architects. This is one of the 89 limited-edition covers that the Architects’ Journal produced this month to celebrate all the projects which won RIBA awards this year, and it’s great to see that this housing project was one of those winners. Congrats to the whole team at Richard Murphy Architects!

  A quick snap from a site visit with Reiach & Hall Architects, on a rather grey day in Glasgow.

  Published in Homes & Interiors Scotland

  

  

  The current issue of Homes & Interiors Scotland has a nine-page article on a lovely house extension I photographed for Helen Lucas Architects last year. Always nice to see ones photographs published!
