A research-led teaching practice and interior/urban design group. Founded in 2005, our interests concern the inevitability of the interior in all its manifestations and its expression through architecture. The blog records our current activities from the interstitial to residential, temporary and large-scale, exhibitions, events and competition submissions which range from private intimate spaces to masterplan proposals for urban regeneration.
