LOCATION

Barbican Estate, London

​

SCOPE​

Bespoke furniture & storage

​

APPROACH

Sensitive to listed building character

Storage is one of those problems that sounds mundane until it’s solved, at which point every room in a home feels different.

 

This client had beautiful spaces and not enough places to put things — the office felt cluttered, the bathroom wasn’t working and the corridor was a problem. Bespoke solutions across all three spaces gave everything a proper home and the rooms recovered their character.

​

Designing within a Grade II listed building adds constraints, but it also raises the standard. Everything had to be both right for the space and right for the building. The furniture has been in daily use for years and will be for many more.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"It was a dream project working with Rachel and her team, who brought my ideas to life, elevated them with their skills and know-how, to deliver a perfect execution, modern, yet sensitive to the look and feel of the Grade-listed building they were designing for. The attention to detail was fantastic and as a result I have now enjoyed the finished products for many years and am sure, many more years to come."
