MATERIAL FOCUS - BRICK The exposure of brick internally creates a sense of mass and texture within our projects, reflecting back to the structure of original Victorian houses of which many of our projects emerge.

MATERIAL FOCUS - BRICK The use of brick externally in our designs invite a contrast of light and shadow, providing texture and relief in its sculpting of the elevation. Images: 1.

MATERIAL FOCUS - METAL From salvaged doors to structural components, the use of metal internally in our projects suggests an industrial character and honesty in its materiality. Images: 1.

MATERIAL FOCUS - METAL We begin this week zooming in on certain moments of metalwork in our projects. Our use of metal externally within our designs celebrates craftmanship in its fine filigree patterns and composition. Images: 1. House of Reflection 2. Modern Portico Extension 3.

MATERIAL FOCUS - TIMBER We regularly use structural timber, but it is often hidden behind other finishes. Here are some projects where it is not, in the considered curation of structural form to add spatial value and layering. Their natural tones bring warmth to reflected light entering the space, creating a calm atmosphere within the space. 1. Up and Over 2. Timber and Tile 3. The Glazed Brick Extension 4.

MATERIAL FOCUS - TIMBER Internal timber cladding is a feature on many of our projects. We love its ability to create texture and natural warmth to enhance a space in our work. 1.

MATERIAL FOCUS - TIMBER We thought we would take a look back at the materiality in our projects, revisiting the various applications of timber, brick, metal and others in our work. We focus first on the detailing of timber in a variety of our designs, zooming in to moments of crafted elements that show care in the smallest of details.

House in Hackney The extension allows the kitchen and dining room to push further into the garden, making the most of the views and light. A strip rooflight over the kitchen wall units brings light deep into the space and washes the kitchen with sunlight during the day.

House in Hackney Internally there is a palette of bold colours to define the living spaces, including an entirely yellow corridor the client has named ‘The Yolky Way’ leading from the kitchen to the front reception room, complete with hidden yellow doors. These are offset against more natural materials such as the oak batten cladding, which define the dining space and also line the back wall of the kitchen concealing the fridge door and larder units.

House in Hackney. A new outrigger in one of our favourite bricks. Contemporary but handmade, pale buff but still complementary to a London stock. The ground floor extension in oak matched the palette of the whole elevation. Here’s a view of our bright green kitchen, offset against the oak batten cladding which defines the dining space overlooking the garden. A bespoke terrazzo counter unifies the colours of the floor, oak cladding and the tiled floor which seamlessly leads to the outside patio.

SUBURBAN HOUSE The new first floor rear extension was designed with a vast and spacious vaulted ceiling. What could have been a simple bedroom became far more, with a mezzanine space sitting atop a dramatic piece of coral coloured joinery. This is not a normal children's bedroom, and is an example of the adventurousness and priority of high quality space that permeates the project. The bedroom opens into a Jack and Jill bathroom, accessible from the room and the hallway. The client sourced copper rolltop bath provides a dramatic centrepiece, and above all a moment of joy (which is always encouraged).

SUBURBAN HOUSE The en-suite bathroom combines glazed handmade tiles with large format porcelain to continue the theme of a calm, modern, yet soft and textured interior aesthetic. A double vanity unit and steam room sit within the sort of spacious arrangement which makes it easy for more than one person to use the bathroom at a time. A built in bench detail sits alongside generous storage cupboards, providing an all-too-rare moment of comfort within bathroom spaces.
