Studio Visits: Piercy & Co

2018-03-08T09:00:00-05:00

Recently, Piercy & Co have received a lot of attention for their impressive use of materials and textures done in collaboration with craftspeople and fabricators, most notably on their project, 25 Savile Road in London's West End. Their sensibility and attention to detail is evident in all their work and is now manifest in their newly built studio, which they designed and built (as much as possible) themselves.

Find out more about how they went about designing their space and what the team's current projects are, in my latest Studio Visit.

Studio Visits: PH+

PH+'s London office is tucked away in Aldgate, East London. Visiting their studio, I was keen to learn more about their work, having regularly walked past their lushly green residential building with a living ivy façade on Orsman Road along Regents Canal. Working closely with the Borough of Hackney, the team worked hard to create a building that enhanced the surrounding ‘Green Corridor’ and maximized the biodiversity along the river. The project embodies the studio's ethos and fascination with the people and places they work with, as well as, their ambition to continuously add value to the built environment.

For this Studio Visit, I spoke to Luke Neve, who manages the studio’s internal and external communications and Andy Puncher, one of the two Founders of pH+.

Studio Visits: Miralles Tagliabue EMBT

Last autumn, while in Barcelona, I was lucky enough to visit Miralles Tagliabue EMBT's studio—known most notably for Santa Caterina Market in Barcelona and The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the latter of which won the Stirling Prize in 2005. Tucked down a cobbled street a stones throw for Las Rambles, the studio was a homage to the old and new, filled to the brim with drawings, models and ideas.

We spoke to Benedetta Tagliabue, whom answered the Proust Questionaire a while back, to find out more.
