Penthouse, Covent Garden

London

Sitting adjacent the tourelles and chimney stacks of a Listed Building in Covent Garden, this apartment is a celebration of pleasure and sensuality, with the internal sequence of spaces engaging with a magnificent external roof garden. Opening rooflights, mirrors and sliding doors play games with elemental novelties including fire, water, earth and snow.

Penthouse, Fitzrovia

London

Sitting discretely back from the street on a rooftop in central London, this minimal apartment creates a sophisticated air of space and tranquility, with a large roof terrace running around the south and west of the glazed lounge. A central top lit stair connects the multiple levels of accommodation.

Victoria Miro Gallery, Mayfair

London

This Mayfair gallery has a calmness and assuredness where the Listed external facade gives way to a minimal series of gallery spaces, with sliding doors allowing for changes of interior character. Harmony is maintained using the rhythm of the ultra-wide solid oak flooring throughout the gallery.

College Art Centre, Wellington

New Zealand

A slender scalloped roof play area sits above a multi-purpose educational space in this arts pavilion for a college in New Zealand. Delicate white columns support the black hull of the play zone, with the pavilion sitting on top of a stepped plinth which in turn provides viewing platforms for the rugby pitches and the sea beyond.

Townhouse, Hampstead

London

A terraced five storey townhouse is transformed through the full remodelling of the staircase. Each flight of the stair is given a slightly different design solution with each evolving return of the stair. The domestic scale of the proposal is reinforced through the intricate detailing of the joinery work and sculpting of the stair ceilings.

Airline Catering Facility

UK

With enclosure only where required for security or environmental control, this operational facility is designed around the flow of the process itself. The complexities of movement of millions of components from cleaned cutlery to airline trolleys to fresh food product is coordinated within a minimal but robust framework capable of adjusting and adapting to suit.
