SCULPTURAL SIMPLICITY
The philosophy of the studio is to define the essential, setting aside all else. This means we design with simplicity and subtlety, making the space feel respectful of how we live and what we need. We value creating functional spaces which surprise and activate senses without being overbearing, and consistently work to achieve an experience of spaciousness.
Interweaving atmosphere with function
At the core, the functional needs of a space must align with its emotive affect. Whether decorating a family home, restoring a historical property or designing a more operable space - such as a medical centre or an office - creating space that feels ‘just right’ is our ultimate aim.
Honouring the past, providing for the future
A great passion of the studio is historical properties, and renovating these to suit a new function and vision. This repurposing of an environment is our take on sustainability: we believe that long term thinking, which for us means creating solutions which both honour the past and provide for the future, is a way of offering a new life to a space. It’s a privilege to work with heritage architecture, giving it a revival, a renewed relevance - aesthetically and practically. There’s something special in properties that have had many lives before our own. They have an atmosphere that only time can bestow, and which we see as our responsibility to preserve.
