The appraisal and upgrade of their existing studio space houses the core design team, admin tasks, packaging of stock and meeting spaces, among others. The existing studio lacked presence and aesthetic flair.
Our returned design is simple, the insertion of a feature storage/display wall to the perimeter edge with a new timber mezzanine introduced to 'zone the space' to suit user needs (client brief).
Our vision; to fully overhaul the space, adding a mezzanine structure to add valuable floor space for added tasks. A continuous feature product wall addresses storage requirements and adds aesthetic appeal.
Aesthetics are light and contemporary, allowing users to flexibly utilise the space for varying work purposes.

Mast Brothers. In the Beginning ...
Shoreditch, London, UK
Where it all started.
Our acclaimed 2016 retail scheme located in Shoreditch, East London.
Following our formation, one of our early projects included assisting the Mast Brothers to launch their UK flagship store.
The brief; a super-accelerated delivery of the scheme to a set opening day deadline (Valentine's Day). Ambitious but achievable with the correct methodology. From the drawing board to full completion in under 3 months (including required planning consents).
A contemporary and sleek design aesthetic created to align to the company's brand identity. The return unit zoned with (a) an exhibition/display area fronting the public realm < (b) main retail 'shopfloor' demise < (c) back-of-house manufacturing zone < (d) rear packaging and sorting space + ancillary parts.
