In 2005 the partners were invited to teach a Diploma Unit at the Architectural Association in London, extending the research of their practice further in an academic setting.
In 2006 ROEWU represented the UK in the Beijing Biennale along with Fosters and Arup and in 2007 the practice was awarded the Kevin Kieran Award by the Arts Council of Ireland.
In addition to practice Stephen has led a Graduate Diploma Unit at the Architectural Association in London.
