Three members of Granta Architects competed in the Chariots of Fire relay race around Cambridge's historic city centre and colleges on Sunday 20th September: Jason Palmer (2nd from left), Katie Thornburrow (extreme right) and Anne Rooney (2nd from right). Money raised went to mental health charity Cam-Mind.

Granta Architects has won an exciting commission to build a new artist's studio for a professional ceramicist. The project presents interesting challenges as the new construction is adjacent to a grade II* listed house. The Old Hall in East Tuddenham, Norfolk, dates back to the 16th century, with additions and alterations from all centuries since. The accomplished artist Grahame Clarke, who lives in the Old Hall, works in porcelain.

Lucy May-Gillings has gone on maternity leave. Best wishes to Lucy and her family - and look out for updates on the new arrival here soon!

Welcome to our new website! There's lots of information about our work on conservation and sustainability, and what you can expect if you engage an architect to work with you on a building project. You can follow a building project from start to finish, read about some of our current work and see some tips for saving energy and making your life and buildings more sustainable. Over the coming weeks we will add more downloadable resources for clients, householders, conservation and planning officers and students, so please come back from time to time.
