Studio Visits: Softroom

2019-07-16T05:32:00-04:00

Softroom was founded by Christopher Bagot and Oliver Salway in 1995. They have since worked with Eurostar, The Victoria & Albert Museum, Wahaca and the British Museum to name a few. A multi-disciplinary team of sixteen they deliberately work within in a wide variety of sectors choosing to diversify as a tactic to inspire a fresh approach to each project. Based in South London, the studio is divided over two floors, the upper their workspace and lower a communal space and materials library, beautifully designed to showcase the teams capabilities.

Jonathan Tuckey Design focus on amending existing buildings working hard to create a new discourse catalyzed by the connection between old and new. Their studio in West London is the perfect example, a previously derelict pub built in 1884. Reimagining the functional elements from its original use the team has created considered and playful architectural interventions adaptable for new creative endeavors.

Find out more about the team, their current projects, socializing together and their interesting music choices in our 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+.
