10 Years, 100 Homes


We wanted to say a very big thank you to all our clients, contractors, and collaborators from the first decade of our practice, and to mark the 100 projects that we had worked on over that period, we created a celebratory card which incorporates a key elevation from each building.
The card comprised five streets of Neil Kahawatte Architects designed homes, which are displayed in chronological order. Each row spans around 20 of our projects and shows the homes stitched together as an imaginary terrace.
Using one of the primary tools of our craft, computer aided design (CAD) software, we took the primary elevation of each home (often the rear elevation where many of our schemes are most visible) and connected the party walls or garden boundaries of each.
​
Some projects such as flats were shown within much larger apartment buildings and others such as landscapes had no buildings at all. The intention was to capture a defining aspect of each scheme so that everyone can identify their own project(s).
​
After careful scaling, arrangement, and amalgamation, the drawing file was sent for laser cutting; a technique which gives the card its characteristic burnt edge appearance and allows us to reproduce the design as a gift.
​
We hope you all enjoyed your cards and for our later projects, we have now created a sixth street to represent the 11th Year of our Practice!
