Glazed ground floor of a converted warehouse studio at dusk

We stripped the building back to its brick walls and steel columns, then inserted a timber mezzanine to double the usable floor area without blocking the tall windows.

Acoustics and light

Wood-wool ceiling panels soak up noise, and new roof lights bring daylight deep into the plan. Meeting rooms are glazed boxes that keep sightlines across the floor.

The project reused 85% of the existing structure by mass.
