Jason Scoot’s Lattice x Live x Work, was unusual among the entries as a retrofit, using a reconfigurable OSB grid to turn a derelict garage unit into off-grid urban flats. ‘I was mesmerised by all the geometries,’ said Stephen Proctor of Proctor & Matthews Architects. ‘It is so complex; I feel I could get lost in it or retreat into it.’

The intention was to create a ‘living mesh’ that can expand and contract to specific uses, respond to occupants’ needs and, most of all, create an off-grid alternative that promotes social change through sharing resources, responsibility and awareness. ‘There’s a visionary aspect to this entry,’ said Jan-Carlos Kucharek. ‘It’s a response to dense urban living and we have to get used to living in denser ways.’

Scoot Studio’s proposal was unique among the entries for proposing a radical retrofit of an existing building typology. The design enables occupants to live off-grid within a community setting, using an OSB lattice configuration to reconfigure the internal spaces. ‘I really liked this one as a response to an existing site,’ said Bethan Watson. ‘I like that it is reconfigurable inside.’

We were recommended Jason by a client. He provided us with a unique design for our home which we would never have imagined ourselves. He was invaluable right from the start and supported us through the whole procedure, assisting with any building issues as and when they occurred. He went above and beyond to the point of helping us with problems occurring whilst away on holiday.

We are incredibly happy with our finished home and would recommend Jason to anyone for his innovative ideas and vision. Jason is very easy to work with and clearly knows what he’s doing.

Thank you Jason!
