Hospitality — 140 covers
Vespro
Ochre plaster, perforated steel screens and terracotta banquettes tune a hard shell for low-light dining.
Spatial design studio
Space is not a container. It is a character.
We design the rooms people live, work and gather in — beginning with how light moves, how bodies flow, and what the material already wants to become.
A portfolio in motion, not a catalogue of finishes.
Eleven years, sixty-four completed rooms, three disciplines. We take on six projects a year so each one gets the studio, not a junior with a template. The work below is current — not a highlight reel.
Workplace — 2,400 m²
Fold Studio HQ
A single burgundy acoustic wall anchors an open floor; glazed rooms borrow daylight instead of blocking it.
Residential — full renovation
Cotton Row House
A new skylit stair shaft pulls daylight four storeys down through a previously dark Victorian plan.
Method
Four commitments we do not negotiate.
Light first
We survey a site across a full day before drawing a line. Orientation, glare and reflected warmth set the plan — fixtures come last, not first.
Flow as structure
Circulation is the real programme. We map how a hundred people arrive, queue, sit and leave, then shape thresholds so nobody has to be told where to go.
Material honesty
Lime plaster, blackened steel, unfilled travertine, solid oak. We specify what ages well and detail the joints so wear reads as patina, not damage.
Built to be built
Every scheme leaves the studio with 1:5 details, a finish schedule and a bill of quantities the contractor can price without a single guess.
The material library
We specify from a shelf, not a screen.
Nine hundred physical samples sit in the studio, each tagged with supplier lead time, maintenance regime and the projects it has survived. Clients choose in the light of the room, against the real plaster, at the real scale.
