FAT 2008 Bentley Library, Walsall
FAT beat off competition from over 70 submissions to win this RIBA competition in March 2008. We are now working closely
with Walsall Council, the stakeholders and user groups to develop our proposals for the new community library and nursery in
Bentley. Hopefully the planning application will be submitted in the summer of this year.
The 630sqm single storey building sits on a brown field site, the site of the former library, in the heart of suburban Bentley.
There are two vertical elements that express the dual functions of the building. These also relate to the tower of the nearby
community Church and frame views of the local landmark, the Cairn, which sits atop the adjacent hillock. The library and
proposed study centre are arranged around a plinth accessible from the main street. The idea is that the combination of the
area’s principle community buildings will provide a new civic focus for Bentley. The masterplan for the site also includes: car
parking, the nursery’s outside play area and a new playground.
The library and nursery will be a prominent, but not overwhelming presence at the junction of the two local roads. The library
and nursery are housed in a robust, but beautiful brick building. The bricks are like books sitting on stone or concrete ‘ shelves’.
The bricks are different colours and are arranged to create a magical polychromatic effect that will give he building a unique
identity. The building is punctuated by a variety of windows including: a book shop style window; circular window looking
into the triple height performance space and a screen of diamond shaped north lights that pick up the brick patterns on the
elevation. We aim to achieve at least a ‘very good’ rating on our bespoke BREEAM assessment.
FAT 2008 Hoogvliet Heerlijkheid, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
FAT is masterplanning a 5.4ha site for a ‘Summer Village’ and ‘Hobby Park’ in Hoogvliet, a post-war New Town on the outskirts
of Rotterdam. The park is primarily conceived as a central amenity for residents as part of a major housing regeneration project,
but will also attract visitors from further afield. The park masterplan includes a range of community facilities, including hobby
huts, a pet cemetery, allotments, shelters, sportsgrounds, an archipelago playground and a boating lake.. The centrepiece
of the park is ‘The Villa’, a multi-purpose building housing a large hall, a cinema, cafe and rentable space for community
organisations. The project is currently under construction.
FAT 2008 The Belvedere, St Paul’s Way
This landmark residential tower, commissioned by a private developer, is situated at the border of Mile End Park in East
London. The site is an awkward triangular shape bordered by main line railway arches. The building provides 27 new studio,
1, 2, and 3 bed apartments, all with stunning views over the park, together with a new ground floor restaurant. It is designed
to be a gateway marker for the park and incorporates a green planted wall on the Eastern elevation. The other elevations are
characterised by a complex lattice pattern which creates a strong visual motif for the building and also forms the structure for
the generous projecting balconies. The building is designed to meet Code 4 for Sustainable Homes, Lifetimes Homes Standards
and Secured by Design.
FAT 2007 CIAC, Middlehaven, Middlesbrough, UK
Fat are working with BioRegional-Quintain Ltd (BQL) to deliver the first phase of Middlehaven, a major regeneration scheme
for a former industrial docklands in Middlesbrough. The Community in a Cube (CIAC) building includes 80 residential units and
commercial or retail tenancies at ground level. The design meets a range of targets, including the aspirations of the masterplan,
construction efficiency and providing lifestyle choices for future residents. The BQL One Planet Living principles underpin all
aspects of the development, which will meet and exceed the EcoHomes ‘Excellent’ rating. Construction of the £7.5 million
building will commence in late 2007.
FAT 2007 Lindsay Road
Lindsay Road is a proposed development of 34 new homes for sale on the former Deerlands School site in Parson’s Cross, Shef-
field. The design is a response to a competition organised by Sheffield City Council inviting members of its Small Developer
Panel to submit proposals for the site. Whilst using sympathetic materials – brick facades, timber windows and doors – the
new houses will be contemporary in character, adding an original and exciting element to the area. The design features two
important new public spaces: a large wild flower garden with paths and benches to make it accessible and a ‘Homezone’ – a
shared surface providing access through the site. The design aims to achieve a number of ambitious targets including: 50% of
units compliant with Lifetimes Homes/SCC Mobility Standards; 10% of energy supplied by renewable sources; Eco-Homes Very
Good rating; Cabe Design for Life Silver standard; Secured by Design accreditation.

FAT 2007 Pavilion, Liverpool
Fat won a competition to design a two storey building as part of the Paradise Street Development Area scheme in Liverpool city
centre. The Pavilion will be built within the newly renovated Church Yard Arcade.
The design introduces an intriguing and delightful new building into the Church Yard space, using references that include
ornamental and decorative street furniture as well as the tiled and patterned facades of the Victorian buildings of Liverpool. Our
approach has been to design a building within a building, distinct from its surroundings and acting as a gateway or landmark
to the new development.
The facade is expressed as a decorative tiled screen and the series of facets along it alter the buildings interior spaces and
provide niches for seating and views into Church Yard from the first floor café and ground floor retail units. Shop fronts are as
large as possible and all windows are tall and vertical in aspect. Either ends of the ‘screen’ diminish to lower points to make a
comfortable junction between the arcade and the pavilion. At the south end a sense of activity from the café terrace is visible
into the arcade below.

FAT 2006 Islington Square, Manchester
FAT were selected unanimously by the future residents to design 23 new houses for the Manchester Methodist Housing
Group within the New Islington development by Urban Splash. The £2.3 million scheme comprises two to four bedroom family
homes and garden areas. Our design unifies the residents’ desire for ‘traditional’ homes with the New Islington masterplan
commitment to innovative and world class architecture, and was developed in close collaboration with the residents.
As part of the New Islington Millenium Community, the Islington Square housing scheme has been designed to meet ambitious
sustainability targets, intended as an exemplar for the future of UK construction. The design accomodates Reduction of primary
energy, CO2 emissions and water consumption, Green specification of materials and reduction of construction waste, design
for life-cycle adaptability to the Lifetime Homes principles and receives an EcoHomes ‘Excellent’ Rating. Construction was
completed in March 2006.
FAT 2006 Sint Lucas Art Academy, Boxtel, The Netherlands.
Fat was appointed in 2002 to create a new identity for the school and rationalise spaces inside and outside. The existing 1960’s
buildings were given a strong,colourful and unusual new external identity through the addition of decorative screens, surface
treatments and signage. These elements communicate the inner life of a creative educational institution and enhance the
outdoor spaces between the various existing buildings.
The interior design increases the sense of identity and legibility in the main circulation spaces. This is achieved by the integration
of communal activities into the main corridors, incorporating study rooms, dining facilities and exhibition spaces. These become
more street-like with a greater sense of activity and exchange within the building. Existing circulation spaces were made more
generous and new connections made more legible to everyday users and visitors alike. The £3.5 million phased project was
completed in 2006.
FAT 2006 Meals Restaurant and Peyton & Byrne Bakery, London
FAT were commisioned by restaurateur Oliver Peyton to design a new 100 cover restaurant, Meals within Heal’s department
store in central London alongside a new bakery outlet, Peyton & Byrne in the entrance lobby. The design of Meals transforms
an otherwise undistinguished interior into a richly atmospheric space. It refers to Heal’s tradition of decorative design but in a
stylised and contemporary manner that makes use of digital fabrication techniques. Oak-veneered decorative screens define
the main eating areas, framing views to the exterior courtyard as well as creating inglenooks and library spaces. A variety of
seating types are provided, from long banquettes to intimate single spaces. FAT-designed trompe l’oeil tables are matched with
classic bentwood cafe chairs with pink upholstery to complement the banquettes and the pink edged timber panels.
Peyton & Byrnes design reflects the client’s aspiration to re-create the old-fashioned tea shop and bakery in a contemporary
manner. The front of the shop is characterised by a large bronze framed picture window full of cakes. The window is set into a
minimally detailed black shop front that sits within the listed lobby of Heal’s department store. Inside, the shop is finished in
white ‘brick’ tiles with green grouting. The floor is an Op-Art version of a traditional Victorian mosaic floor. Display shelving and
units are kept simple and elegant so that the packaging and food becomes part of the design. It is intended to bring to mind
an archetypal cake shop.
FAT 2006 Croydon Museum of Local History, London
A comprehensive redesign and refurbishment of a museum of local history for the London Borough of Croydon, exhibiting
artifacts from local domestic and public life. The design weaves these disparate elements into a narrative, telling the story of
Croydon in an engaging and imaginative way. Fat worked closely with the museum’s curatorial staff to design the object-specific
display. Parts of the museum are housed within the historic Courtrooms, the remodelling of which has involved consultation
with English Heritage. The £800K project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and will be completed in 2006.

FAT 2007 Grote Koppel, Amersfoort, NL
This building, commissioned by a local developer to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the founding of the city of Amersfoort, sits on an important site adjacent to the Koppel poort (an ancient gateway) in the mediaeval walls of the old city and fronts onto the River Eem.
Fat were required to create an extraordinary architectural object which would relate to both the old city and to the mostly 19th Century warehouses along the riverfront. The exterior of the building is constructed using pre-cast concrete panels and is designed to be viewed from trains which pass on the eastern flank of the building. The intricate detail of the façade will also provide visual stimulation to pedestrians viewing the building from the Riverside.
Internally, the building will have a grand ceremonial quality created by the theatrically designed staircases and the complex inter-relationship between the central atrium and the balconies/viewing points which overlook it. The building will eventually be used as a restaurant.
FAT 2006 Bere Regis Masterplan,Dorset
FAT were commissioned in 2005 by Grainger PLC to masterplan the sustainable expansion of a village in Dorset. As well as
the imperative to preserve the traditional village character, the scheme must also prevent any impact upon the ajacent Site of
Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The proposed development will comprise of 350 new homes including affordable, new work
spaces together with new community amenties including a school, a health centre and a community hall. The new village will
make use of the most up-to-date technology for environmental sustainability and will be constructed making full use of Modern
Methods of Construction (MMC). It is intended that the new village will be an exemplar project which will set new standards
for sustainable regeneration. The project is ongoing.
FAT 2002 House and Office, 2 Garner Street, London
This seminal project, now affectionately known as ‘the blue house’ has a cartoon-like ‘billboard’ character which communicates
its function as a home and office. The front has a miniature scale, but the side addressing the main street is big in scale. Built
for £300,000 the project makes innovative use of standard construction methods. The house contains a maisonette for a family
of three, an office and a separate apartment. The significance of the blue house as one of the most important houses built
this century is widely recognised. It features prominently in numerous publications including the new edition of Pevsner’s
Buildings of England.
