Spaceagency goes to Cyprus!
High rise living has fascinated people throughout history and architects and designers have been obsessed with it for centuries.
Therefore we're extremly excited to start working on 'One', the new residential seafront tower in Limassol, Cyprus. The 'One' will be the tallest tower of its kind in Europe and has started on site recently.

Leading the Way – Design in the Public Realm
Spaceagency's director Sarah Manning will be discussing the role of Design in the public space at this year's Clerkenwell design week, chaired by Independent journalist David Michon.
Please join us at the talks space in Spa Fields (next to the Design Fields exhibition) at 1.30 pm on Thursday the 25th May.
Committees plan our cities and architects shape our buildings, but who helps humans navigate their way through this manufactured environment? One could argue that successful architecture is self explanatory; so are public signage and design elements aimed directly at those using the space really that important? Joining the discussion are Sarah Manning of wayfinding studio Spaceagency, designer Morag Myerscough and Oliver Goodhall, co-founder of We Made That, who will be considering what makes great public design – clarity, simplicity, imagination or innovation?
Spaceagency selected to design the Wayfinding for Clerkenwell Design Week 2017
We are excited to be part of this year's Clerkenwell Design week, the yearly design event in Clerkenwell. Spaceagency has been selected to re-imagine and design the graphic wayfinding and signage system that guides visitors between the different venues and local transport stops and to improve footfall to some of the venues.

Sarah lectures at the Architectural Association →
Sarah Manning is a founding director of the design and research practice, Spaceagency, which specializes in Experience Design. Spaceagency believes the human experience of a space is paramount. Focusing on cognitive aspects of how people navigate through environments, Spaceagency is concentrating on the interface between people and the spaces they inhabit – the communication they receive in the environment, the elements they interact with at a human scale, the influence these have on their behavior.
While many tech companies are looking at the user experience through the medium of the screen, Spaceagency is looking at user experience through the medium of the built environment, and are interested in how this might evolve in the future to be the interface with both the physical world as it is now, as well as the digital, informational world that will be integrated into our homes, workplaces and cities in the future.
Teaching in Cardiff
Peter has been invited back to Cardiff University to teach in this year's Urban Design Master programme. Students will be working on the Kings Cross site in Central London. Our overarching topic will be 'Inclusivity' and students will be challenged to articulate their own, personal response to this topic.
Spaceagency is delighted by the ongoing involvement with Cardiff University.
The MA Urban Design will enable you to learn through design, gain familiarity with theory, undertake research and study development and design control processes, all of which are intrinsic to the discipline of urban design.
Urban design is a discipline that sits between a number of built environment areas of knowledge including urban policy, architectural design, landscape design and property valuation.
Studio teaching is built around development sites in real contexts to develop creative, practical and sustainable solutions to a range of urban design problems.
