Mast Brothers. In the Beginning ...
Shoreditch, London, UK
Where it all started.

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.

Islington. Infill Architecture.
Islington, London, UK
The insertion of new housing in a dense urban location.
Located in the heart of London.
Our ‘Peek a Boo’ housing insertion is proposed at a prominent application site located in the Angel area of Islington, North London. A 'hidden' intervention.
Our team have maximised returns at the site balanced with Local Planning Authority (LPA) and Conservation Area directives. Such works require architectural flair; evolving a scheme befitting of consent (whilst ensuring the insertion does not impact immediate neighbours).
Our finalised works; a contemporary intervention within a heritage setting. Informed by several rounds of liaison with the LPA.
