Fingers crossed for the National finals in London this Friday to see if it can become the best in the whole country!!!

Hidden House has been our Everest! It has been a three year long mission to get planning on the site to build this prototypical home. The site has the unholy trinity of neighbouring a Grade-I listed church, being in an alleged Visual Amenity Area and with endangered Great Created newts possibly spotted nearby; but we finally overcame all the obstacles to achieve full planning permission for what the planners described as 'one of the most advanced building ever attempted'; with its own inbuilt farming and constructed utilising robotics.

We can't wait to get it out the ground and record our progress with our prototypical construction technique!! This will mark our 5th built design for Campion Design and the first for our sister research and development company .works , through which we planning to develop new zero-carbon construction techniques for affordable housing!!

It's been an honour to teach business and economics to the talented students of Architecting the Future in Dubai over the past couple of months. I'm so happy I can pass on my expertise in architecture and business to the aspiring designers of tomorrow and help them also become entrepreneurs that leave the world in a better place than they found it! Massive congratulation to all on passing the course!

When director, Will Campion, designed this project – Orchard House – he was only 22. The traditional agrarian architecture that’s quintessential to Lincolnshire inspired the gable design and striped textured cladding, reminiscent of the nearby barns and the standing-seam leadwork of neighbouring St Michael’s Church. The sustainable practice aimed for low-carbon, self-sufficiency, equipping the house with a rainwater harvester, solar panels, an air-source heat pump and a heat-recovery system. The larch board and batten cladding was invented and installed by Campion Design to tie together the reclaimed bricks and the timber to reimagine the verticality of the surrounding context and assimilate into the landscape. Orchard House has been entered in to the AJ Small Projects awards 2021 – stay tuned to see if it gets shortlisted in due course!

It's been a crazy, turbulent year, but also a year of great accomplishment too. We worked on some incredible projects, became a Certified Passive House Designer, been shortlisted for 3 industry-leading awards and lectured at the University of Bath and in Dubai. Hopefully we can continue to build upon this in the new year and play our part in accelerating the world towards a sustainable, brighter future.

Welcome 2021!

For an incredible end to 2020, Will Campion has just become a finalist for the One-Rendering Challenge!! Known as 'architecture's biggest rendering competition', it's a phenomenal achievement to be ranked in the top 100 of 15,000 artists' entries from all over the world!!

This piece was imagined to evoke the conflict between urban and rural. It highlights architecture's role in the path we lead towards a sitopian future in order to contemplate the ethicacy of our decisions in the acceleration towards a sustainable world; especially in a year when supply chain fragility was exposed. The topic is something quite dear to Will as he came from farming backgrounds in Lincolnshire, the accompanying caption is below:

Here the farmer experiences an existential crisis while purveying the inevitability of an agricultural revolution. Agritecture will bring food factories and vertical farms into reality and disrupt the everyday. This jarring scene exemplifies the current toll on the environment modern agricultural methods cause to create fertile farmland through deforestation and agrochemicals, giving everything we eat large carbon footprints. Instead farmland will eventually be swallowed up by the urban sprawl and redistributed vertically in more efficient architectural machines to create a circular economy; this architectural form of farming is in fact less destructive than the conventional methods. The image is seemingly timeless, it could be 20 years from now or 10 years ago, it forces the viewer to contemplate their own impact on the global food chain and whether vertical farms are preferable to farmland and decide whether the food we all take for granted on supermarket shelves is actually bountiful.

Saving the planet doesn’t have to cost the Earth

Will Campion began designing and building houses at the age of 19, his first being with Church House; that later went on to win the LABC East Midlands ‘Best extension or alteration’ award. This was when he founded Campion Design ltd to advocate sustainable responsible architecture that can both save money and the environment. He studied his BSc Architecture at the University of Bath and then turned down MIT to study his MPhil Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Cambridge, while also working for Bjarke Ingels Group in New York City. Now 25, he’s just completed his 3rd house, Orchard House, that stands as a prototypical building that can harmonise the seemingly oppose forces of value-for-money, carbon neutrality and beautifully contextual design. This is a physical representation of the eudaimonic utopia Campion Design pursues so that everyone who owns these creations can become part of a sustainable future.
