We are excited to be producing the first podcast miniseries: Tales From The Kerbside. We explore the new stone re-use project 'From The Thames To Eternity' following the journey of the stones from their geological beginnings to today, unveiling their fascinating history and how they represent the potential for creative urban sustainability. Through interviews, soundscapes and storytelling, listeners will be immersed in the exciting story of these objects Londoners walk past everyday.

Tales from The Kerbside aims to spark awe in cities, making people excited about history, heritage and sustainability in urban space. Through creative storytelling and immersive journeys we incorporate music, soundscapes and archival materials to forge a dynamic listening experience.

From October 2024 to April 2025 Kerbside Collective facilitated the Adapting to the

Climate Crisis Work Group for member organisations of the GCDN Network.

The work group was an online, digital realm where group members could meet to discuss initiatives within their districts relating to urban design enhancements, resilience planning, artwork commissioning in the context of the climate crisis.

The group was structured in a nonhierarchical way, with the group agreeing at the outset how the sessions would be curated. They met online once a month for a six-month period, with each session led by a different group member on a rotating basis.

Making Enhanced was a collaboration between historians and designers or architects, working on joint briefs. Exhibiting in the Saatchi Gallery during the Craft Council’s ‘Collect’ exhibition, we displayed our multidisciplinary projects using a group-made house structure, in which we hosted a series of talks. 

Helen was a partner in with the architectural collective PUG, creating work titled, ‘The Pompous and the Populace’. The project combined research, writing, architecture and product design to create a critique about the relationship between design and democracy focusing on the renovation of the Houses of Parliament. Helen and PUG proposed moving the function of parliament onto a specially-designed gothic train operated by Pugin Trains, which would travel around the country during parliamentary sessions and provide a more active, accessible democratic process.

We worked with the Historic Environment Forum to identify gaps in the heritage sectors transition to net zero.

Part-travelogue, part-design history, part gonzo-urban exploration, Travel By Design is a dash through time and place, explaining key moments in the development of architecture and design by journeying with the author to uncover forgotten remnants of places around the world.

The book is structured into six different stories, exploring subjects that highlight significant moments in design and architecture.

Part of Voice Community funded by Horizon EU, this artist-led innovation project explores the link between flow-state, neurodivergence and the ecological emergency through spatial sound.

How can a multidisciplinary design team use their full range of skills and approaches to create projects that make our public spaces more sustainable and inclusive? Helen leads a Design Studio in the University of Syracuse that explores the design of public spaces and the ways that people interact with their environment through London-based case studies.

The projects are multi-disciplinary in nature and explore theory relating to user interaction within public space alongside real-world issues including wider context of design, project management processes, political realities and community requirements. The teaching methodology also includes a number of walking tours, site visits and onsite research and design work.

We create artistic projects & events with organisations around the world. If you are interested in working with us please get in touch.
