The unveiling of a labour of love finally hits the press in the @ft_houseandhome@ft_weekend
An obsession with timber and all things that I like to live with. For most people - and especially creatives - the need to create a home that is safe and “yours” is so important. It’s not often you get to experiment and design a space in the way that you want to live. The project has been about bringing together forgotten ideas and materials that are key to @ebbaarchitects in a space that I get to enjoy every day.

Newly completed full house restoration captured in the garden. A two-storey full width infill to the rear of the terraced house. Reconfiguration of the lower and ground floors help open up and connect to main living spaces, while the upper floors have been updated with new interventions throughout. A steel structural facade frames the views out to the garden and at the same time transforms the rear of the house to give it a porous quality.
We are enjoying seeing the house come to life!

We are really pleased to announce that we have been selected to design the next Garden Building for Horatios Garden in North Yorkshire. @horatiosgarden is a charity that creates beautiful, accessible spaces for spinal injury patients, supporting rehabilitation through gardening, social connection and wellbeing. We’re excited to contribute to such a meaningful project, enhancing lives through thoughtful design and enriching this vital healing environment.
Working with the amazing team at @studiopollyannadesign and @pollyanna_wilkinson we are looking forward to continuing our development for the designs of the new structures, aiming to reflect the materials found in the north and a celebration of the rugged qualities of these natural landscapes.
Thank you to the amazing team at Horatios for the support and generosity on the project. Also thank you to @arupgroup for the continued technical support.

We’re pleased to see the news of Horatio’s Garden on the @architectsjournal . Two new garden buildings are proposed at the NHS spinal injury unit in Middlesbrough, designed in collaboration with landscape designer @studiopollyannadesign
Sharing a set of drawings showing the construction and design response to a challenging site with tight spatial constraints. The new buildings are located in a courtyard space deep within the hospital, requiring a large proportion of off-site manufacture.
The material approach is intended to reflect the landscape of the north, with an exterior envelope of gabion cages filled with stone from a local quarry, a decision rooted in wanting connect patients to the specific landscape.
Horatio’s Garden is a charity doing some of the most important work in creating therapeutic outdoor spaces for people undergoing spinal injury rehabilitation. The evidence for the restorative effect of well-designed outdoor environments on recovery is significant. The language and materiality provide an opportunity to contribute towards the wellbeing and rehabilitation.

Exhibition: 21 May – 7 June 2026
Opening: 21 May, 6pm
ALL PROJECTS is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition featuring the work of Camilla Bliss, Jane Bustin, Thomas Pellerey Grogan, Anjali Kasturi, Seraphina Mutscheller, and Ralph Parks. Working across disparate materials, the artists share a curiosity with surface, each negotiating with its ability to register atmospheric conditions and intimate gestures.

A moment of pause and the connection to the garden: window seat inbuilt into facade depth from fragment model.
Super excited to be on site this summer and supporting @horatiosgarden@studiopollyannadesign to bring the project to life!

Fragment model of Horatio’s Garden, Middlesbrough
A pavilion building aimed to be a refuge away from the NHS spinal injury unit, supporting care and respite.
The building is designed to reflect the ruggedness of the landscape in the North, with a framed facade of gabion cages holding sandstone from the local area in Durham. Structural timber panels support a stepping roof plane to help bring light into the pavilion.
We are excited to be on site this summer and supporting @horatiosgarden@studiopollyannadesign to bring the project to life!

Completion of a new gallery space supporting culture in London. Looking forward to the first year of programming including exhibitions, screenings and a series talks in partnership with the @architecturefoundation

A project designed alongside @charlottetaylr
‘Dedicated to sound, the space’s concept is around intimacy and creating a ‘sense of calm’, with the bar divided into four distinct zones, transitioning from muted clay colours deeper into the bar, where the palette intensifies into rich timber and darker tones. The design therefore uses adaptive lighting, neutral acoustic panelling and woodblock columns to replicate an atmosphere of warmth. All furniture was provided by @spazioleone , a design gallery based in east London, and the concealed acoustic panelling was created with acoustician @_bourdeau .
A bespoke speaker system by London-based
@friendly.pressure was integrated into the space, including several wood-clad units made in collaboration with designer @lewiskemmenoe in a patchwork style. An orange resin and woodblock DJ booth sits to the rear of the space, surrounded by large oval lights mimicking the colours of a sunset - core lighting being part of the architecture - and the bathroom features a bespoke green resin sink bank.

‘Bonus’ Column from a project commissioned by the @architecturefoundation
The reinterpretation of classicism and an interest in proportion, construction and functionality led to the inverted column. The three-tiered stepped assembly relates to the tapering of columns and its use in emphasising slenderness. By staggering and arraying the posts we evoked a sense of fluting, giving shallow grooves running vertically around the column.

Assembly and Atmosphere - excerpt from Observations 02
When architecture emerges from assembly, atmosphere is not applied afterward. It is produced directly by the consequences of making. The joint between bricks, the roughness of plaster, the edge of a timber board, the expression of elements or the overlap of metal sheets all participate in shaping how a building feels. These surfaces and edges carry traces of the construction process. They record the rhythm of placement, the texture of tools, and the small variations that occur during building. Light interacts with these surfaces in subtle ways and express something new. For example when the mortar joints catch a shadow or the layering of edges create depth.
Repetition establishes a quiet rhythm across a wall, a column, opening or ceiling. Atmosphere emerges through these accumulations rather than through decorative treatment. This approach aligns with a broader architectural ethic: the belief that material presence and spatial sequence can generate emotional resonance. Its qualities unfold gradually through occupation and the effect of light and the environment.

Stacking - excerpt from our recent Observations 02 piece.
Among the most fundamental operations in architecture is stacking. Stone and brick masonry form walls, earth blocks help breathe and insulate, and timber assemblies shape space. They all rely on the same basic principle: gravity organises matter into structure. Piece by piece the building rises through accumulation. This incremental logic has shaped construction across cultures and centuries, not because it is primitive but because it is reliable. Stacking introduces a discipline of rule rather than expression. Each element follows a simple logic: one unit placed upon another. Yet the resulting structures can achieve remarkable variation and depth. Walls thicken, openings emerge, surfaces catch light differently depending on their orientation and density.
