Collective Mirror – Supermarket Creative is the name of the advertising company that commissioned us to design this office project. The four young partners founded their own business and named it so as a reflection of their commitment to accommodating any requests from clients in a multifaceted manner. They also aim to be flexible and accessible in what they do and where clients can find what they seek. They requested that we design their first office building in a way that reflects this approach. The project began with the question of designing an office that is, in essence, a supermarket.

Maison KN is an individual house – stands as a distinctive dwelling nestled within the historic core of Hanoi, amidst an area characterized by dense urban construction, boasting one of the highest building densities in the city. This location bears the scars of some of the most intense bombardments by the US military during the Vietnam War. As a result, the area underwent rapid post-war reconstruction with minimal urban planning intervention, resulting in tightly clustered alleyways and narrow passages, often lacking adequate natural light and ventilation.
The residence for Mr. Mehul Patel is built on the land of 1560 sq. mt and is in the western part of Ahmedabad in Bhopal. The client is a real estate developer working on various residential and commercial projects in Ahmedabad. Their brief for us was to design a house for their family of 5 people with private living areas, including formal and family living dining, kitchen, entertainment room, and four bedrooms. Beyond the functional requirements, they were keen to build a house with an open-to-sky courtyard, which could become integral to the living areas. The requirement was to use Vaastu principles to organize the overall layout.
This project is a rare example of a newly built house in Central London, in the Hampstead Conservation Area. Alison Brooks Architects was commissioned by a private client to design a new model of family home, tailored to the fluid, informal lifestyles of its five family members. The project site is in Belsize Park, Hampstead, one of London’s most characterful neighbourhoods, known for its lush greenery and wide spectrum of domestic architecture. The site is both sloping and wedge-shaped, with a wide frontage that ‘turns the corner ‘ of Belsize Lane. A crucial technical constraint was to ensure 100% daylight was maintained in the windows of neighbouring buildings, requiring careful 3D modelling of the overall building form. This unusual site called for a careful negotiation of the building form both as a piece of the streetscape and as an instrument to create an intimate domestic landscape.
