The project involved the demolition of an existing 1860s house, which had been altered over time with a large garage and an additional rear extension. The house was in poor condition, and its layout was impractical. The site, located at the end of a terrace and positioned on a road bend, presented a unique challenge due to its awkward triangular shape.

The client’s brief was to replace the existing structure with two new houses. To address the complexities of the site, we introduced a filleted corner that creates a smooth transition between the two planes of the street curve.

This design move generated two distinct typologies: one referencing the bay windows of the existing terrace, and the other incorporating arched openings at the ground floor. A material palette of brick and precast concrete unifies these elements, with the chosen brick color offering contrast to the existing terrace while maintaining a sense of material continuity.

A major structural challenge was the presence of a large Victorian sewer running directly beneath the site. Working closely with engineers from The The Structure Studio, we developed a solution that ensured the feasibility of the project while respecting the constraints imposed by the existing infrastructure.

The office space for a wine merchant was designed to embody the essence of winemaking and the emotions evoked when sharing wine with friends and family. Our goal was to translate warmth and tranquility into the interior, ensuring that every individual—whether a visitor or an employee—feels it.

Drawing inspiration from nature, we curated a palette of colors and textures reminiscent of earth, vines, sunshine, and the traditional Greek amphora. A rich, warm green became the foundation, weaving through the space like the tendrils of a vine.

Beyond aesthetics, we collaborated with the client to explore flexible uses for the space outside office hours. By carefully considering the function and security of each area, we created adaptable environments: the entrance lobby seamlessly transforms into a coffee shop, while the employee café evolves into a vibrant weekend bar.

Face2une beauty studio is a visual response to the brand’s main slogan ‘SMOOTH YOUR REALITY’. It was important to create a space in which the client could feel safe, comfortable and renewed. Arched doors, filleted corners, flowing forms and chosen materials all contribute to the idea. 

Error 101 is a visual representation of relationships between machines and humans. It is a manifestation of emergence. The geometry was generated through a combination of fractal mathematics properties, parametric design tools and finally a computer error, which were all guided by human decisions.
