Commissioned and built by luxury developer, Regal London, in partnership with Simon Bowden Architecture, this ten-storey residential building delivers 49 apartments in one of London’s most prestigious suburbs; St John’s Wood.
The surrounding area is characterized by mid 20th Century mansion blocks, the nicest of which are in the Art Deco style. Our design drew inspiration from the Art Deco form, the curved bays are one of the building’s signature features. Also, the imprint of a leaf motif is a modern interpretation of the Deco pattern with its precise geometry and clear lines.
The unsuitable proportion obtained by using the square shape of its 18x18m area with a maximum height of 28 m determined the search for a solution that would counteract this. The use of the building structure itself, making it visible in its perimeter elements in addition to the stairway and elevator box, provided the solution for this vertical direction through the execution of a high blade set, with perfect articulation between the structural component and the architectural design
Fit-out of a Sri Lankan restaurant & bar based in inner Sydney. Steel shelves filled with colourful spice jars, polished concrete, copper lighting, dark timber and leather seating with a busy open kitchen at one end and a high bar at the other. A long, narrow space makes for a bustling atmosphere where the sambols, hoppers and curries fly out of the kitchen from lunch until late.
Recurring joinery detailing and a harmonious material palette link all levels of this stylish south-east London family home.
In its former configuration this 2-storey 1950s property was typical of its type, with a layout easily adaptable to modern family living. In need of refurbishment but with both a loft conversation and outbuilding already in-situ, it was the obvious potential that first attracted the client and his partner to the property.
The clients initial brief was to effectively rip-out the ground floor, eradicating the awkward room arrangements, to create an open plan ground floor for living, dining and cooking. Reconfiguring the rear elevation to provide continuation to the otherwise disconnected garden area, whilst enhancing the link to a new home office space within the disused outbuilding – complete with solar panels to the roof slopes, feeding a smart battery installed and utilised within the main house. To the upper levels, the first floor would be used for the clients twins and the second floor loft conversion would accommodate a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom.
The transformation at Regent has a lot to do with light. The house was laid out in a traditional Victorian format with characteristically dark front rooms. A skylight now spans the length of the kitchen, and the formal rooms open onto the airy new combined living space. A double height light reveal floods the dining room and boys’ room above with additional light.
New Copenhagen office by PLH Arkitekter has Scandinavian simplicity and intuitive functionality in every detail.
America Square on the Northern edge of Copenhagen City
Situated on Amerika Square – comprising a total of 150,000m2 of commercial and residential development on Copenhagen city’s Northern edge – the building marks its presence with a striking curved corner towards the busy Kalkbrænderihavnsgade, likewise towards the inner square behind. Thus creating a welcoming meeting with its urban context where residential, office, retail and restaurant activities blend and interact with life on the square.
The clients fulfilled their dream to live by the beach when they bought one half of a new subdivision of a double size block on a quiet street with great views across the road to the lagoon and beach of North Curl Curl.
The house was designed “upside down”, with the living areas upstairs and the bedroom downstairs as the best views are naturally from the higher level.
The living area is open plan across the entire footprint of the house, creating not only view and natural breeze across that level but also an enormous feel of generosity, unexpected on the rather small block.
One Blackfriars, London is a mixed-use complex located near the southern bank of the Thames River that includes a 170-meter residential tower, low-rise hotel, and a three-story basement with a pool, spa, cinema, and other amenities. WSP worked with their client St. George to build and design the project, including the unique geometry of the residential tower. To develop the structural framing that would maximize apartment layouts, every floor and apartment had to be a different size and shape. Not only did WSP need a structural solution for the varied floor plans, but it also needed to design support columns that offered unobstructed views without intruding on the apartment spaces.
ÜberRaum Architects’ Ennismore Gardens project is located in a Grade ll listed Victorian terrace in the Knightsbridge Conservation Area. The ground floor apartment was refurbished and a one storey rear extension added. With a basement and six storeys, a Doric entryway and stucco façade marks the property’s historic significance. Leaving this untouched emulates the architects’ intentions – accentuating period details alongside contemporary features.
The site is located close to the sea on the south coast of Norway. The house is placed in clearing of a surrounding forest where the terrain is calmly sloping towards the water.
