Turn-Key Scope
Full architectural fit-out including concept drawings, bespoke teak joinery, lighting choreography, civil MEP, and final handover styling.
Status: Handed Over
Completed 2023
Project Narrative
The brief was to keep the building honest. We stripped the partitions, repaired the original south-facing window and inserted a single new volume — a blackened steel box containing the bedrooms and services.
Everything else is left as found: patched concrete, exposed ducting, painted-over brick. The contrast between the untouched shell and the precise steel insert is the whole design.
Design Concept
Concept: "honest shell, precise insert". The 1960s workshop is kept legible; all new work is confined to one legible volume so the two eras never blur.
