Refurbishment

This project is the full reconfiguration and extension of a small, semi-detached house in Kentish Town that was cramped, badly laid out and badly built. We worked closely with the client to understand their requirements. We provided them with additional space, good floor to ceiling heights throughout and the right light. We succeeded in getting permission for large side and rear extensions, with provision to lower the floor in the extension to create more height where possible, as well as open up a small rear patio. Both the extensions were designed to provide maximum light. Part of the loft space was also opened up to give height and space to the main rooms on first floor. Ply is the predominant material used as to clad the walls and st... Mehr

Das ursprüngliche Gebäude, ein Wohnhaus mit einer Garage und einem Innenhof im hinteren Teil, stammt aus dem Jahr 1900. Obwohl es keine aussergewöhnlichen architektonischen Qualitäten aufweist, wird angestrebt, all jene Elemente zu erhalten, die den vom Gebäude vorgeschlagenen Betrieb oder seine Anpassung nicht behindern und gleichzeitig sein Wesen zu bewahren.   Eine der anfänglichen Anforderungen der Bauherren ist die Umwandlung des Erdgeschosses in einen einzigen und riesigen Raum, wobei die ursprüngliche Struktur des Hauses in den ersten beiden Erkern beibehalten, die Fläche des Parkplatzes erweitert und die Treppe in das Obergeschoss verlegt und mit dem Wohn- und Essbereich verbunden werde...

Once there was a vineyard with a small, unremarkable, and partially ruined farmer house built on it. 
In spite of the modest origins of its construction we decided to conserve its picturesque looks.   Its irregular openings where maintained adding all but one larger window looking curiously up the street.On the inside, however we decided to follow other rules: nothing of the old “shel” is to be recognizable.   The odd shaped openings as seen from the street, reveal to be part of an absolutely symmetric composition to witch the kitchen is the epicenter – on its right a mirrored door hides the bath area, while on its left there is the staircase to the upper floor.   Playfully breaking this other wise cla...

The restaurant “Marco” is a refurbishment of an existing restaurant, in Largo de Santos, Lisbon, which sought to create different atmospheres in the various dining rooms. With a simple and affordable design, the only restriction to the intervention was to avoid any changes to the existing layout of the restaurant. This intervention considered the three following principles: the alteration and balance of the existing and new colours, the reorganization of the kitchen and bar areas and new furniture. After carefully analysing the existing space, the decision was made to utilise and retain the distinctive existing features of the rooms. Such as the columns, arches, dining table side fixings and the finishes on the walls.   A... Mehr

‘Tower 30’ intends to go beyond a mere lifespan extension of the building aiming to turn it into a modern, dynamic landmark. Baumit’s ETICS system plays a fundamental role in combination with a rigorous study of its finishing’s colours and the opacity of the complementary microperforated metal skin.The original building stood out as austere, grey, hard concrete. Located on a strategic spot and visible for thousands of daily drivers from the M-30 road, the new Ilunion headquarters required a comprehensive refurbishment ensuring its importance to be strongly reflected. The new façade provides a modern and dynamic solution by combining a first light insulating ETICS system by Baumit, which mechanically adheres to... Mehr

In this modern era, there is a constant drive to obtain or create the most unique products possible. However, with constant improvements in technology and lifestyle, we are left with products with an expiration date. It is the same with spaces, which also require some form of change and evolution over the years. Sometimes it may only require a bit of refurbishment, while others may require more drastic changes or even moving to a different location. While there is no dearth of attractive properties, they’re often not reflective of their homeowners and their social and functional requirements. Within this milieu, Residence 304, a home designed by Envisage, stands out as a space that is crafted for comfort in order to reflect the hospit... Mehr

Here comes Mirella. Mirella is a house in the heart of Ravenna. It arises from the refurbishment of a typical dwelling of the old borgo San Biagio, a simple neighborhood, where you can still meet people chitchatting during summer evenings, sitting on the entrance steps of the house.   Mirella is a little introvert, though. It is constantly in the search of its inner garden.Mirella is soft, because the light is always filtered by the sequence of its interiors.Mirella is mysterious, but opens up into breaches through which you can see the sky.   The photos tell about its intimacy, revealed by the delicate gaze of Simone Bossi.   Mirella is the result of the renovation of a single-family building in the historic center of...

Kennedy Wilson appointed our team to carry out a 10,000 sq ft refurbishment of Pioneer Point. The brief required us to produce a multi-functional tenant amenity space. Ongoing design discussions with the client were held to ensure the final product embraced their vision and successfully created a space that connected the two residential towers together.   A full Cat A and Cat B fit out was carried out in order to meet the requirements. Through innovative design, we created an environment that benefits all individuals, realising Kennedy Wilson’s vision for Pioneer Point. The main challenge faced during the refurbishment process was to ensure all fire strategy regulations were fully met. To guarantee this, we employed a fire stra... Mehr

The scope of the project was the refurbishment of the pool area and its adjoining facilities at the Khar Gymkhana in Mumbai. Though an opening up of the adjoining café and extending areas of the cafe into the pool area, the proposal recalibrates the working of the space, integrating the entire space into one larger whole. The aesthetic of the proposal takes both geometric and colour inspiration from the Memphis Design Movement, where individual elements are characterised by colourful decorations, featuring asymmetrical shapes and geometries and accompanied by a multitude of seemingly jarring patterns at different scales. The impact of the movement finds focus in both the flooring, as well as certain spatial aspects within the caf&ea... Mehr
