Craftmanship, quiet functionality, and a love of cooking inspired the design of a kitchen set within a Grade II listed townhouse. Created for the founder of product design studio Tiipoi and her partner, the design was informed by both the paired back, elegant language of the historic Georgian house along with the natural, raw materials which feature prominently in the Tiipoi range of objects and cookware. The kitchen is both a testing ground and showcase for Tiipoi’s range of products which are in everyday use. The typical ergonomic and functional requirements of a kitchen are combined with the social and symbolic geometry of the circular unit, which is a combination of preparatory, cooking, and gathering space.

A conservation-based approach was taken for the complete refurbishment and extension of this garden apartment in Hampstead; and celebrating its existing period features formed the starting point for the design. Built around 1894, the atmosphere and feeling of the project was inspired by the restrained palette, simplicity, and muted tones of domestic interiors depicted by Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi in the late 19th and early 20th C.

The project is a rear extension to a 1960s semi-detached two storey house in Bromley. The property already had a typical 1990s rear addition that resulted in deep internal plans for the rear rooms, a consequence of which was that the rooms became dark and gloomy rooms. The new extension replaces the existing and builds out further to create a better connection with the garden. Our focus was to design carefully arranged windows and rooflights, to provide additional natural light deep into the new living and dining area. Continue reading TYPE

Architectural studio TYPE has unveiled a distinct and characterful extension to an end-of-terrace, Victorian three-storey house in Herne Hill, south London. The airy and light-filled 45m2 rear and side extension replace a draughty and cold conservatory in the south-facing garden. It carefully defines three distinct ground-floor spaces for cooking, dining, and relaxing within a single room. Key to the project is an elemental use of self-finished materials that are inherently beautiful and practical. Continue reading TYPE

The 199m2 retrofitted barn sits within a 25-acre site of green fields and is part of a wider long-term strategy, which is being developed by the clients and the practice, to regenerate and rewild the secluded site, turning an agricultural relic into the hub of a new ecological smallholding. The scheme creates a new kitchen garden, traditional orchard and series of wildflower meadows, interspersed with wild margins, hedgebanks and areas of copse and scrub.
The project embodies TYPE’s interest in ecology, low-energy construction and architecture’s interface with the natural world, and it exemplifies a rigorous approach to craft. It was on site for five years, managed at close hand by founding partner Tom Powell, who moved to site with his partner to lead the build. Continue reading Type
