Bogle Architects' 140 Fenchurch Street has been shortlisted for a Surface Design Award, in the Commercial Interior Surface category.
The winners will be announced on Thursday 11th February 2016 at a ceremony taking place at Surface Design Show in the Business Design Centre in Islington, London.
Good progress on site with our International Early Years Facility in Singapore.
Laura Encinas has recently joined “The Cass” at the London Metropolitan University as Lecturer for the BA Interior Design Course, taking part in the Studio Design & Research Development Module for first year students.
Monday 19th October marked the grand opening of our ELI Beamlines project, in Dolní Břežany, Prague.
Designed by Bogle Architects, ELI Beamlines will be important in terms of the advancement of laser research, specifically in the field of cancer treatments. The facility houses lasers with intensities 10 times higher than those currently achievable, and will work towards the development of full-optical hadron therapy facilities for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
An overview of the scientific elements of the projectcan be found here.
Photos of the project and the grand opening can be downloaded here.
The ELI Beamlines facility will develop a high-energy, high repetition-rate laser providing pulses from four laser systems. To meet the requirement for high repetition rates, three of these lasers will employ state of the art technologies of diode-pumped solid state lasers (DPSSL) for driving broadband amplifiers. The fourth, multi-kilojoule laser will use a newly developed flash lamp technology with an actively cooled gain medium.
As part of “Czech Architecture Week – Playful Architect”, Viktorie Součková and Barbora Markechová were asked to lead 2 workshops for classes of 35 10-year-old motivated pupils from Kroměříž (CZ) and Žilina (SK).
Both workshops took place at the Plecnik’s Lookout of Prague Castle and have become a successful playful construction site where young future architects have a chance to design, draw and build their own place to live.
"This year 14 schools from Czech cities participated in the project. Participation for the event came from children f
rom 18 other countries around the world including Brazil, Morocco, Peru, Italy, Canary Islands and many more. Over 1200 children took part in the project globally !"

Our Tomas Slovik visits the International Early Years school site in Singapore.
Piling is now complete and excavation works has commenced!
Bogle Architects took to the streets of London on 18th September for our Summer Party
Being an architect is not only about CAD, every now and then we need to head outside to help our prospective clients find the next big development. This requires good concept of geographical position, planning, an eye for details, instincts and a good pair of shoes!
We are standing on one of the worlds most elaborate monopoly board, the capital city, London. Here little hidden gems and highly valuable sites lay covered in dust waiting to be discovered and transformed.
Location is everything, and on September 18th we sent our team out from Waterloo station to find these locations, based on the clues and photos provided, the teams need to locate the approximate position where the photos were taken from.
The first team to arrive would receive a fee of £50, the second team would receive a fee of £30, the third team would receive £10, and the fourth team would incur a £30 debt...If the site is visited by only 1 team, then that team receives £100!
It is a game of strategy, team work, speed and a bit of luck!
Winner takes all !!!
This milestone scheme in the field of pre-school education will deliver a multicultural educational facility for over 2,000 pupils
and 400 support staff.
Bogle Architects have developed an architectural and educational vision that will provide a rich learning environment for pupils, parents, and staff.
The design responds to the challenge of making a very large building, of over 50,000sqm, feel intimate and personalised. This is achieved by the arrangement of 'clusters', each of which are formed on a similar scale to a standard ‘nursery at the end of the street’, with 4 classrooms in every cluster.
These clusters sit atop a podium level which handles the extensive transportation web of bus, car, taxi and pedestrian arrivals and departures.
"Its vast scale and transport implications have led us to find new solutions while keeping our design true to the concept of the 'nursery at the end of the road."

We welcome four new starters at our Prague office.
L-R: Matěj Kudlicka, Matúš Pastorok, Monika Rafajova, Martin Rybar
Matej joins the Prague team working on our visualisations where he is briefed on concept designs and how to create powerful visuals.
With 8 years experience in architecture and interior design, Matej studied in Prague.
Matus joins Bogle Architects as a Junior Architect, working on our office building projects including the Zizkov scheme and competition entries.
Matus studied at CTU in Prague and when not in the office likes to cook.
New images of the lighting tests at the public terrace and entrance of ELI Beamlines have been released
ELI Beamlines is an award-winning project located south of Prague, providing international research and technology facilities for high powered laser experimentation.
Funded by The European Commission, ELI Beamlines is the first laser research infrastructure involving scientists from the global research community and is recognised as one of the European Union’s most significant research projects.
Won in international competition, the design by Bogle Architects has been conceived as a research campus within a landscaped setting and consists of four separate buildings, accommodating offices, laboratories, a multifunctional space with lecture theatre and a café and the principal element - a massive concrete ‘box’, comparable in size to a football pitch, housing the laser hall itself. A lightweight roof floats over the atrium or ‘heart’ of the building, with louvres providing shade during the summer whilst allowing sun to penetrate and heat the atrium during the winter.
In October 2014 the project won the ‘Project of the Year’ Award at the ‘Czech Architecture Week’
Bogle Architects have been appointed to design an innovative boarding school in Slovakia
Bogle Architects continue their design work in the Education sector, having been appointed on an ambitious Boarding School project in Slovakia.
The Campus facility is now going through the planning process.
"We are delighted with this appointment as it further enhances our progress in this sector and compliments our current education projects in the UK, Singapore and Vietnam.
The Client’s inspirational brief has challenged us to find new and innovative ways of designing exemplary, contemporary learning spaces"

As part of The Challenge Programme, twelve 16 year olds visited our office on Wednesday 22nd July as we gave them an insight into our profession.
They presented their 'pitch' to us, which was about Stopping Homelessness with the “Start to Stop” campaign.
Our Yui Fan Law will now join them as one of their "Dragons" in the Challenge's 'Dragon's Den' at South Bank University on 27th August.
The Challenge is the UK’s leading charity for building a more integrated society. They work on a local level to connect people together across all ages and walks of life through running a variety of youth and community programmes that mix diverse groups of people together.
