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 project in Shoreditch, East London.
Following our formation, one of our earliest projects was assisting Mast Brothers in launching their UK flagship store. The challenge? A fast-tracked delivery to meet a fixed opening day—Valentine’s Day.
Ambitious, yet achievable with the right methodology. From concept to completion, including planning consents, the project was delivered in under three months. The result: a contemporary, sleek design aligned with the brand’s identity, featuring a carefully zoned layout:
- Exhibition & display area fronting the public realm
- Main retail shopfloor as the core commercial space
- Back-of-house manufacturing zone for production
- Rear packaging & sorting area with ancillary functions
A landmark project that set the tone for our future work.
