A Medium density housing project of 84 units was proposed in Nottingham. The project brief insisted that the development must exceed sustainable requirements. It must also consist of mixed housing types. By exploring new sustainable design solutions TDC were able to achieve high quality sustainable housing. Designing flats, apartments, houses and country houses we were able to create a varied streetscape. Awards won: 2019 Housing Design Awards 2019 RIBA Sustainability Award

TDC were keen to expand their design skills and experience, exploring the design of furniture to reflect their ethos: function is beautiful. TDC aimed to create a stylish yet comfortable chair suitable in many environments. Using a polished wooden structure, the cream leather upholstery contrasts with the dark wood. The materials communicate and integrate together to create a striking unique piece of furniture.

The Design Collective were challenged to design an inspiring small space suitable for a number of artists. The brief required provisions of flexible spaces to cater for a variety of artistic activities. To create an inspiring environment TDC focused the design on a tranquil view over Norfolk’s Mid-Yare National Nature Reserve. To maximise northern light, ideal for an artist studio, a large glass panel has been designed and orientated accordingly.
