We have recently completed a new restaurant for @kricketlondon in Shoreditch. Dusty pinks and earthy reds draw inspiration from Jaipur and the deserts of Rajasthan. Working closely with friend’s @eddieolin and @spirit_level_ we installed a series of unique interventions in the space. Big swoops of fabric. Linear pendants and a series of textile panels set in aluminium frames. Few more drawings and photos to share in coming days. :) 📸 @felixspeller

It was raining in London yesterday. Had us in mind for a party 😜😜😜. Sharing a few snaps from the archive (shelf in studio) detailing our model for Visionaire at @rally.rally.rally along with a few shots of the ‘band-stand for dance music’ before, during and after the fact. Excited for sun. Excited for rain. Excited to party. 🚀🛠️🚀

035 arc Excited to share some of the beautiful photos captured by our talented friend @felixspeller at the recently launched @arccommunity_ it’s been such a thrill to witness the amazing response to the space and the experience. A little bit of blurb below: “arc is an environment informed by ancient rituals and contemporary science – its design carves out spaces of connection, engagement and transcendence and affords its inhabitants a flowing sequence of atmospheres through a series of contrasts: hot vs. cold; open vs. closed; natural vs. man-made, and light vs. dark.” Heartfelt thanks go out to our amazing clients and to the amazing team of contractors, collaborators, engineers and suppliers. @arccommunity_ @white_rabbit_projects @alannakit @duboulayprojects @brassmonkeyice

EVENT 001 Join us as we takeover the @domustiles showroom during @clerkenwelldesignweek for a temporary transformation of space. This will be an experimental testing ground, exploring space, sound and surface through the typologies of a Gallery (Day 1), Listening Room (Day 2) and Club (Day 3). Link for free tickets in bio. Expect deep, intentional listening of electroacoustic sounds where synthesis and live instrumentation meet. Installation: Cake Sound System: @big_____ears Lighting: @jarrod_laser_hire Visuals: @wasted_space_____ Graphics: @kuba_frompoland Day 1 Gallery: Day one is framed as a gallery exploring the theme of Grounded Transcendence including works from artists, designers, and photographers exploring nightlife and rave culture. A lunch time talk from @evan.a.purdy titled ‘Photographic Dispersion’ looks at moving photography from “external collector” to “embodied participant” using the camera as an extension of the subconscious. @tango.ldn take the helm for the opening party. Defined as an event series inspired by the invisible agreements of tango: improvisation, shared listening, and movement shaped through collective rhythm. Moving between tension and release, intimacy and distance, Tango explore how people move together through rhythm, attention, and atmosphere.

057 Listening Room Thrilled to share a first set of photos from a listening space we have helped to create for @spotifyuk realised in collaboration with pals @friendly.pressure and @_bourdeau . A sequence of compression and release leads into a controlled listening chamber where space recedes and sound takes over. Warm tones, diffused light, and a raised dias frame this monumental, one of a kind sound system within a calibrated architectural niche. Backlit panels, reflective lacquered surfaces, and acoustically tuned walls work together to deliver clarity, depth, and controlled resonance. A curated set of furniture and lighting pieces enable an atmosphere of comfortable and engaged, communal listening. Shout out to our amazing team and special mention to @emilianozavala and @will.barker for leading on a beautiful outcome. Further collaborative efforts with the following roster of talent! @thein.creative on PM duties, for the monumental console @eddieolin , @ninetyoneninetytwo for their besutuful pendant lamp and @lessons.research for the gorgeous dining table. 📸 @felixspeller 🛠️🛠️🛠️

047 WH Millennium Bridge Delighted to share a first set of photos from our recently completed project with @watchhouse . In this project we have tried to distill something of the Thames atmosphere and the experience of the embankment - informed by Claude Monet’s studies of light and monumental forms dissolving into mist over the river. References include St Paul’s Cathedral in the ceiling void, Tate Modern in the industrial language, and Tower Bridge in the wider skyline. We worked with timber for warmth, brushed metals to catch and soften light, and concrete to reference the riverbed. The palette draws from water, stone and sky, shifting through the day. We’re thrilled to be working with WatchHouse across a number of projects that will be emerging over the course of the next few weeks and months! Thanks to our amazing client, the wonderful team @cumberlandgroup for the main building works @mealdealworkshop for the joinery works and a very special mention to our own @patkadylag for leading this project in beautiful style. Tasty 🛠️🛠️🛠️ 📸 @felixspeller

052 Event 000 Operating between London’s warehouse party lineage, basement rave culture, listening bars, and art happenings, the series occupies meanwhile spaces across the city. Each site is temporarily reprogrammed through proposals spanning multiple creative disciplines. Rooted in soundsystem culture and DIY raves, the project tests how these practices can persist within a neoliberal, commercialised city as a form of cultural infrastructure. Architects, designers, makers, and live acts operate as co-producers, with access, resources, and agency treated as design problems. The emphasis is on enabling experimentation and collaboration—prioritising process over spectacle—to generate outcomes that are materially grounded and culturally productive, rather than fixed or permanent 📸 @felixspeller 🔈 @big_____ears 📽️ @wasted_space_____ 💡 @jarrod_laser_hire ⚡️ @hollandselectrical 🛠️ @spirit_level_ 🎧 @_jhumkaaa 🎧 @alicia_ajs
