Screen House

Our project Screen House that was featured in Dezeen last year is due to be featured in the upcoming book HomeWork which is due to be published this autumn by Thames & Hudson. 

Using a traditional cellular layout of a mid 19th century regency villa in North London as a base the movable screens allow different degrees of separation whilst maintaining visual connections afforded by the perforated screens. The screen perforations were parametrically designed using a pattern which allowed more open area where privacy was less critical and less where privacy was more important.

One Carter Lane

Completed in early 2015 One Carter Lane is a workplace we designed for engineering company Cundall. It showcases a number of our ideas about the workplace and how it needs to evolve to embrace a more diverse range of types of work including dedicated spaces for research and development in the workplace, more active ways of working and health and wellbeing. The majority of the furniture including the desk system, tables and shelving was designed by us and made locally to tight environmental and sustainability standards underlining Cundall’s commitments as a “One Planet Company”. 

The project was the first in Europe to be accredited with the Well Building Standard.
