Set atop the kitchen of an existing brick house, the studio is a small extension designed as a jewellery studio. The original structure came with its own architectural vocabulary and load-bearing limitations, which informed a careful and responsive approach to design.
With the foundation not too deep, lightweight Porotherm blocks were chosen for construction—keeping the new structure both light and thermally efficient. This ensured that the space remained cool while respecting the constraints of the building below.
In keeping with our ethos of designing beyond just architecture, we crafted custom wall-mounted display cases using dealwood. These not only showcase jewellery within the studio but are designed to be lifted off and carried as-is for exhibitions—seamlessly transitioning between workspace and showcase.
This thoughtful, minimal intervention reflects our continued pursuit of contextual sensitivity, material intelligence, and meaningful design gestures.
