Our Hut has carried out projects on a wide variety of architectural themes, working mainly in schools, but also with community groups, families and the general public. Courses with individual classes range from one-day workshops to courses of workshops over two to eight sessions. We also deliver Teacher Inset, either as part of a project with the children or a stand-alone day or twilight session.
Our Hut has designed and is implementing a programme of events including exhibitions, family workshops, walking tours and school workshops focused on the architecture of Woolwich Town Centre and what it tells us about the history of the area.
As part of the wider Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) project in Peckham, Our Hut was commissioned to design and deliver the complementary schools’ education element.
The two-year project, which began in 2019, was designed to help the public, including school children to engage with and consider secret and invisible workings of the city – transport, services and sewerage below ground through ventilation shafts.
The Brixton Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) was a Heritage Lottery (HLF) and Lambeth Council funded regeneration project, carried out from 2016-2021 with the aim of preserving and enhancing the unique architecture and historic character of Electric Avenue, whilst stimulating economic regeneration and raising knowledge, awareness of and participation in local heritage.
The aim was to encourage local young people and families to make more visits to the park and be better able to engage with its heritage, in particular the extraordinary legacy of design and engineering innovation found within the park.
Our Hut initiated and worked on a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund from 2013-2015 to record and celebrate the New Covent Garden Flower Market building before its demolition.
All Aboard for Stockwell focused on the inspiring architecture of Stockwell bus garage and the important part it plays in the transport infrastructure of London. The building is local to us and this was the first Our Hut project to be funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It ran from 2011 – 2013 and aimed to raise the profile of the building, to bring the Stockwell community together and to help improve the image of Stockwell both locally and throughout London.
