HOLISTIC DESIGN

Our holistic design approach considers spatial, sensory, and cultural dimensions as well as the influences of materials and climatic conditions.

By reading architecture and interiors as extensions of one another, a subtle transfer of details or materials can ensure an immersive experience that resonates on multiple levels.

Recognising these moments, we create a continuous journey from the moment you arrive to when you depart.

MUSEUM DESIGN

Museums and their role in society are changing, with digital outreach and the increasing importance of global learning.

Yet, engaging each visitor with the beauty and power of the authentic object should remain central to the museum experience.

Grade A workspace at Belgrave Road in Pimlico is first retrofit project in the UK to achieve a NABERS UK Design for Performance 5.5-star rating for building efficiency, and is one of six buildings to pre-certify for WELL Platinum.

Wellbeing is supported throughout the interior spaces by low-environmental impact, bio-based and recycled materials with a deliberately domestic feel to generate a welcoming environment.

A section of the first-floor slab has been cut away to create a double-height entrance, enhanced by a library that offers space for relaxation and personal thought. Although infused with a sense of homeliness, the open plan layouts and break out spaces stimulate social activwity, collaboration and productivity that employees would not find at home.

Art installations often bridge our architectural and interior work. Our collaborations involve an array of artists and mediums, such as Dale Chihuly’s blown glass and Richard Deacon’s ceramics. An artist contribution can bring a whole new dimension and spectacle that only they can create.

Artist Claire Morgan designed a colourful and vast aerial sculpture for the grand entrance at 111 Buckingham Palace Road. The installation, entitled ‘Murmurations,’ hovers below the ceiling, translucent and shimmering against the light.

Fabrics, with their combination of tactile and visual sensations, add to the warmth and intimacy of domestic interiors, just as they can humanise corporate or public spaces.

They can affect the sense of light and sound to transform rooms from one use to another.

The crafted piece strikes the balance of a robust engineered design with the delicacy of the hand spun spindles. Designed for transitional spaces, the piece is inviting and comfortable for the briefest or more captivating social interactions.

Collaborating with furniture maker Hiro Takayanagi, the table was originally commissioned for the Four Seasons Hotel Spa, Park Lane, London. The robustness of the oak is a counterpoint to the delicate form of the metal work.

FOUR SE ASONS HOTEL SPA , LONDON

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL SPA One of the capital’s top 5-star hotels, the Four Seasons is located on Hamilton Place, just off Park Lane in London’s exclusive Mayfair district. Dating from 1969, the hotel was in need of refurbishment to preserve its reputation as a luxurious haven.

HOSPITA LIT Y

Eric Parry Architects developed a proposal for the extension to the roof to include a new spa, early arrivals suite and gym. The attic storey also facilitates the rationalisation of existing and redundant plant and accommodates new chillers required to power air-conditioning to all bedrooms.

In addition to providing the vital 5-star services and facilities, the design offers visitors to the spa the opportunity to experience the magnificent rooftop views afforded by the hotel’s position.

In developing the design, Eric Parry Architects carried out thorough analysis of the existing services and how massing of a new roof would work with the form of the existing building.

Conservation and Design Officers were closely consulted to achieve a quality of design sympathetic to the hotel’s surroundings and existing building.

The vision behind the new extension is a delicate white attic with a dark ebony stove-enamelled metal roof, which overhangs and shades the new glass elevation and complements the existing Portland Stone façades.

The balconies to the north elevation are enclosed with frameless double-glazing to make them usable all year round and increase the area of the rooms in the process.

The form and high quality materials used in the additional storey adds a sophisticated gravitas to the existing building.

We worked within a limited budget to bring texture and warmth to an otherwise basic interior.

To address and mask a large concrete column and a ceiling grid that was at odds with any sense of alignment and scale, our interventions create a continuous and colourful landscape, with a dramatic ceramic clad column as a focal point.

The restaurant kitchen is framed within horizons of colour. A counter and shelves are beautifully lined with fresh produce, creating a vibrant and welcoming dining experience.

The May May Restaurant occupies a 5m wide 25m deep traditional shophouse ground floor.

Its main feature is the light well in the centre of the space which has a living green wall.

May May offers food and drink inspired by the flavours of Asia in modern day Singapore.

The new interior targets an international crowd to create a backdrop for casual business meetings and lunches.

References to selected familiar elements of the traditional shophouse are modernised and accentuated. White marble, reminiscent of the traditional kopitiam table top, flanks the entry at the bar counter and continues at the existing feature wall at the courtyard onto a long dining table top. Warm filament lighting enhances bespoke timber feature panels along the main circulation space, akin to timber ubiquitous in former shophouse interiors. Fresh re-interpretations of the traditional Peranakan and ceramic tiles line the walls.

The interior includes the following principal spaces: The Court Room sits 29 around a new table. The walls finished in American black walnut panelling alternate with vertical slotted timber reeds. The deep red curtains, white leather chairs, colours of the carpet, and the glint of the crystal cut chandeliers, add life and ceremony to the room.

The reception room, a light, airy space, speaks to the future more than the past and features a clear and indigo drawn glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly.

The Stair Hall incorporates scagliola pilasters from the sixth hall; these are placed between raised panels of polished plaster in two tones to add to the apparent depth of the surface.

The Dining Hall can host 120 guests seated in three rows and has a clerestory with views to the church wall above. The walls are panelled in American black walnut, alternating in plain and reeded horizontal sections in a similar arrangement to The Courtroom. The tapestry frieze, some 60 sqm was commissioned to create bold colour narrative and a sense of a further horizon.

The Project won a RIBA London Award (2017).

Our approach was to complement the existing architectural qualities of this 10 year old apartment block by adding warmth, tactility and colour.

Completed in 2004 the building has 52 units, located in an elegant old residential district near Shibuya Station in Tokyo.

The existing exterior features a beautiful tile developed by the sculptor Ayako Ueda. These softly crafted tiles are featured throughout the development and have informed our design.

The discreet external entrance to the building has been transformed into an interior space through the introduction of metal and glass screens. Enhanced lighting and hard and soft landscaping add a sense of privacy and intimacy.

Interior layouts of the apartment units have been reconfigured to create more spaciousness, higher ceilings and improved lighting. Comfort and elegance has been created by applying a simple spatial and material hierarchy executed with an honest touch of craftsmanship.

Eric Parry Architects created a contemporary residence with an improved relationship to the rear garden, while respecting its architectural heritage.

The two levels are connected via an elliptical stair. Lighting design by Ingo Maurer defined the approach and experience of the staircase.

The proposed alterations to the existing structure involved removing load bearing walls at lower ground to help create a large family room. The aim was to re-establish the elegance of the original house, whilst simultaneously maximising natural light with an extension that is sympathetic the existing building.

The interior finishes, apart from the fair faced concrete, include large areas of hardwood timber wall panelling and built in furniture as well as bespoke acoustic panelling of felt and perforated metal. The joinery is of the highest quality and careful attention has been paid to detailing.
