2009 was a busy year for us here at Axis Design. So busy in fact that we neglected to tell you about it and haven’t updated the blog since the summer! Hopefully we’ve more than made up for it with the printing of the first Axis Design newspaper, covering numerous projects we’ve been involved with during the last couple of years.

You can pick yourself up a copy if you come and see us at the Designed Environment West Midlands Design Fair on the 25th February, where we’ll be teaming up with the guys at Slider Studio to talk about our consultation work using advanced digital tools. We’ve been using another example of an advanced digital tool to make the newspaper thanks to the new service launched by http://newspaperclub.co.uk.

Here are a few excerpts along with some images from the paper; you can also download a PDF copy of the full newspaper here: Axis Design newspaper

Birmingham Municipal Housing Trust

Axis Design Architects continue to play a key role in Birmingham’s latest housing developments. As one of the architects for the first two phases of the initiative to allow local authorities to build new homes, Axis Design have developed proposals for 5 sites across the city that will set the standard for the future of housing in Birmingham. Each scheme has been designed to deliver Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 and with the help of code assessors Brooks Devlin we have provided a renewable energy strategy that recommends the use of photovoltaic energy which could benefit from the recently announced Feed in Tarrif (more images available on our flickr page)
