PROJECT KALLAX
CLIENT
Yodomo
LOCATION
Hackney Wick
SCOPE
Retail and workshop fit out
APPROACH
Circular design and reuse
Yodomo needed a space that could switch between retail and workshop use without a fixed layout for total flexibility.
The design gives them exactly that: everything moves, everything can be reconfigured and the environment works equally well for a customer browsing textile remnants and a group of participants in a making workshop.
Equally important was doing this without buying new. The budget was tight and the values were clear: everything reused where possible, nothing wasted. The result reflects what Yodomo stands for, which is the best kind of brief to work with.
CLIENT
Deaf Institute
LOCATION
Manchester
SCOPE
Cafe, bar and venue
APPROACH
Circular design and reuse
Located in a landmark Victorian building in Manchester’s student quarter, the Deaf Institute was redesigned using sustainable and reclaimed materials to create a venue that felt familiar, characterful and lived-in.
Reclaimed wood, restored flooring, vintage furniture, and second-hand decorative pieces brought warmth and authenticity to the space, while distressed finishes added depth and personality.
Industrial lighting and copper details balanced the eclectic aesthetic, and bespoke wallpaper by Timorous Beasties tied everything together with humour and visual impact — becoming a real talking point for customers.
