Studio Visits: ACME

I walk past Acme's London office regularly and there is almost always a passerby staring into their window with a rather bemused, albeit intrigued, look on their face, not quite sure what to make of this golden cave of wonders. This is no accident, Friedrich Ludewig who founded the practice in 2007, told me on our latest Studio Visit. Having heard of a Japanese architect who shared his studio with his florist wife, Friedrich was inspired to create a similarly curious studio space with a speculative function to tantalize clients and the local community alike.

This playful and idiosyncratic approach is synonymous with Acme and can be seen in all of their projects, most recently the award winning Victoria Gate shopping mall in Leeds with its striking diagrid facade.

Having just celebrated their ten year anniversary we found out more about their journey so far and what the future holds for this exciting studio.
