In 2008, Jesse Lockhart-Krause entered the Green Square Design Competition as a young architect exploring the possibilities of practice. His submission – a quietly ambitious response to the challenges of civic architecture in Sydney's inner south – remains a formative project for Lockhart-Krause Architects. Though the design was not built, the process of interrogating public space, community identity, and environmental performance left a lasting mark on Jesse's approach to architecture. In this Q&A, we revisit the Green Square entry with Jesse to unpack how it influenced his early career, his values around working with community, and what he learned from designing for a complex urban brief.

Shortlisted for the RIBA Awards, The Cowshed designed by Design Storey (Oxford) is a carefully considered conversion of a historic Cotswolds barn into a two-bedroom home. The awards process has been both detailed and demanding—from assembling a strong submission that highlights the project's design, sustainability, and technical approach to preparing for the in-person judging. With a focus on conservation and innovation, the team has had to articulate not just the final outcome but the challenges, problem-solving, and craftsmanship behind the project. The recognition so far reinforces the value of small-scale projects that balance heritage with contemporary needs.
