LOCATION

Camberwell, London

SCOPE

Residential and studio conversion

APPROACH

Optimised space and sustainable materials

The challenge here was making one property do two very different jobs well: a professional photography studio that clients visit and a comfortable home for the photographer and their family.

Previously, each half compromised the other. Now they work together, the studio functions better as a creative workspace, shoots aren’t disrupted by the household above and the family has a home that feels calm and considered rather than improvised.

The client area within the studio gives somewhere comfortable to sit with visiting clients without leaving the space, a detail that changed how the whole business worked day to day.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"Rachel really understood the balance we needed between a professional photography studio and a comfortable family home and brought the experience and expertise to make both work properly without compromising each other."
