Our first project for
@aesop :: Aesop Regent Street, London – a sanctuary of grand seclusion.
This signature store, set within John Nash’s historic streetscape, is conceived as a sequence of spaces transitioning from the agitation of the street into a calm, immersive interior.
A symmetrical principal chamber is anchored by a stately basin, referencing the water fountains of Regency architecture. A vaulted ceiling reinforces this sense of order and formality.
From here, two portals lead to more intimate spaces. The first leads to the Sensorium, offering a place to explore Aesop’s fragrance compositions, while the second descends below street level, where a series of treatment rooms form a secluded undercroft dedicated to personal consultation and facial therapies.
A restrained palette of Portland stone, pitted plaster, reclaimed oak and bronze reinforces a sense of permanence and quiet decorum.
