Scrambled Egg City
Quay 2’s very own Catrina Stewart is one of the 200 leading artists, designers, architects and jewellers invited to create one of the 200 very special eggs hidden across the capital for London’s The Big Egg Hunt.
Catrina’s design - Scrambled Egg City - draws inspiration from Reyner Banham’s description of the postmodern city as being like a “scrambled egg”. In this design the top of the hard shell is dissolved to reveal an imaginary city inside, where the core will be negotiated by the pedestrian in ways that defy the logic of rationalist planning.

The First Flush Party at Asylum House
To celebrate the completion of the bathroom extensions at Asylum House our client hosted a “First Flush Party”, with “The Plughole Quartet”, accompanied by a flautist, playing a specially composed piece for the grand opening.
Prizes were awarded to those who contributed to the project, with our own Ken Taylor being given The Most Noble Award of the Bathroom Duck, in recognition of services to the Asylum Bathroom Project, beyond the call of duty.
Photographs of the project to follow.
