Walmer Yard, London

Crispin studied for two years in diploma school at the Architecture Association under Peter Salter. From this grew the ambition to develop a project with Peter.

Walmer Yard became a 15 year long investigation: how to change Peter’s masterful hand drawings into completed buildings.

All the senses are engaged in the spaces created, appealing as much to the sense of touch, smell and sound as that of sight. In addition to the experience of what architecture can do in terms of light, space, materials and journey, Walmer Yard also brings those living in the houses together in the life of the shared yard.
