Show moreUnderlying our work is a desire for objects and spaces that are comfortable and strangely familiar, as much as a fascination for rational and neutral form. Our aspiration is to create good spaces that improve the quality of life of those who inhabit them, be it through a piece of furniture, a building or an urban plan.
We were recently featured in the Architecture Foundation’s ‘New Architecture 3’, a survey of the best emerging architects in the UK, selected by a jury of leading architects, critics and curators.
Recently finished projects are a building for a sailing boat harbour in Holland, the exhibition ‘Engineering the World: Ove Arup and the Philosophy of Total Design’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and ‘Magnificent Collections: The Artist as Collector’ at the Barbican Art Gallery.
Projects currently in development are a masterplan and collection of 6 residential buildings in Holland, a Nursery and Community Centre in London, and an exhibition at the Royal Academy.
