High Speed 2’s (HS2) Independent Design Panel has supported changes at Euston Station which would see plans for the Grimshaw-designed terminus scaled back
Chaired by co-founder of dRMM Architects Sadie Morgan, the panel said it welcomed a shift in approach at Euston in its just-published winter 2020-2021 report.

Plans for the reduction in size first emerged last year when Transport for London (TfL) revealed it had formally ordered a redesign following recommendations made in the Oakervee review.
While the station itself will be shrunk – with the number of platforms dropping from 11 to 10 – HS2 has been told to increase its oversite development plans. It is also thought the redevelopment could also be delivered in a single stage rather than the previously proposed two-phase design.

Skolnick Architecture converts historic Hamptons church into an arts centre
Tall windows and timber framing feature in this 1830s church building in New York, which has been converted into a cultural facility by Skolnick Architecture and Design Partnership.
The Church is located in Sag Harbor, a former whaling village that spans the towns of East Hampton and Southampton on Long Island.
The gabled church has its own bell tower
The original building, which dates to 1836, housed the Methodist Church of Sag Harbor until 2008 when the congregation moved to a new home.
After several proposals for the building fell through, the property was purchased by the married artists Eric Fischl and April Gornik, who have lived in the area for decades.
