15 Clerkenwell Close
15 Clerkenwell Close’s non descriptive title belies the astonishing architectural triumph that dwells at the simple address, occupying a plot of land a stones throw from Clerkenwell Green. The 7 storey building is the architect’s own development comprising one or two flats per floor, a double-height architect’s studio at basement and ground and the architect’s home on the top floor.

Cheyne Walk House
103 Cheyne Walk was originally built for a retiring Lord of the Admiralty on a gap site plot overlooking the River Thames, giving its facade the bay window and flag post arrangement designed to resemble the stern of a Man-of-War. Since then it has had additions and internal changes that have left it dark and cluttered. The architecture office were asked to look at clearing out the later additions allowing light to come into rear areas and spaces to suit more informal living patterns.

Hyde Park Competition
A number of apartment and house options were suggested whose permutations could be mixed to meet the clients preferred development criteria. Sat within two conservation areas the options looked to the possibility of having to retain the existing facades. This developed to give the site a unique identity allowing them to become screens mediating the public street through a series of richer thresholds to private areas. Providing privacy yet expansive windows, light and glimpsed views.
