Universal Works x 26 Berwick Street / Studio MUTT

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 05:00:00 +0000

MUTT’s creative relationship with Universal Works began in the bar of a London hotel, on a cold December day, with a question: how does an approach to clothing translate into an approach to architecture? As customers of theirs, we already had an understanding and appreciation of the brand - its context, the craft at the heart of it, and the people behind it. Through close discussion with David, Stephanie, and the wider Universal Works family we developed an architectural approach based on these three facets of their ethos to be used in the design of their new stores. 26 Berwick Street is the first fruit of this collaboration and new found friendship. A flagship store at Coal Drops Yard will follow it in October.

Reed Watts Architects have recently completed their third and largest project at the V&A, a new café and pergola structure in the John Madejski Garden. Going from conception to completion in less than four months, the elegant steel structure defines a new space for seating in the museum and provides a dual-fronted café counter for Benugo, the museum’s café operator. The V&A in South Kensington hosts over 4m visitors every year and its main café enjoys an outstanding reputation as one of the most beautiful in London. The brief for Reed Watts was to deliver a café in the Madejski Garden that would be met with a similar reception, replacing an existing structure that was no longer fit for purpose.

Hackney Mews House / HUTCH design

Rayen Sagredo — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

A complete reconfiguration and extension of a Mews House in Hackney, for a young, growing family. The original two-storey, brick property was embedded amongst a series of buildings at the back of Broadway Market, and as a consequence, felt claustrophobic, confined, and had little source of natural light. To turn this small property, into a larger, more usable modern home, we had to be inventive in its use of space.

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 02:00:00 +0000

The Black Ridge House is an extension to an existing three-bedroom Victorian terraced house that is part of the Warner Estate in Walthamstow. The existing homes built in that period were made one-room-deep and south-facing towards the street, creating a neglected connection to the north-facing garden to the rear. The clients’ ambition for the project was to completely re-energize the house by radically remodeling it to suit their lifestyle for open plan living and create a greater connection to the garden, which was designed by our client, a drummer turned landscape designer.
