We are very pleased to share our newly completed restaurant ‘Gracie’s’ on Hampstead High Street, for our leading hospitality client Culinary Grace.
There’s a moment when a space stops feeling designed and starts feeling like somewhere you just want to be. That’s what we were chasing at Gracie’s.
Warm plaster walls. Morning light through crittall windows. The smell of good coffee. A vase of wildflowers on a table that’s just been set. Natural wine on oak shelves. A rear courtyard catching the afternoon sun. A sense of style and contemporary interpretation of the traditional boutique.
Our client Culinary Grace wanted a place that felt generous and could instantly resonate with the local community - not despite its size, but because of how carefully every inch was considered.
We think they’ve got it.
Welcome to Gracie’s, Hampstead High Street.

Our three houses on Capel Road, Enfield have started on site.
Following receipt of planning permission last year for three houses on a former car park, it’s fantastic to see this one coming out of the ground at pace. The planning programme was intense, and we completed a full redesign and submission within four weeks, achieving full planning first time around. The council cited it as a benchmark scheme for the borough, which was a great result for the client and the team.
The brick walls and structure are now going up and it’s starting to look exactly as it should. More to come as it progresses.

Designed for sunset spritzes, with the Wembley arch framed from every position.
We’re pleased to share our design for a luxury rooftop bar for our operator client Field Vision Bars on a High-Risk Building opposite Wembley Stadium. Taken through Stage 4 Technical Design - BSR strategy locked, Gateway 2 navigated, fire strategy and golden thread running cleanly - before the building was sold and the rooftop didn’t come with the sale.
Not every project crosses the finish line. We still love this one.
What it taught us:
Circulation on a mixed-use HRB is one problem, not two
A luxury feel is possible through modular construction
Year-round comfort is what turns a rooftop into a destination

How do you turn a sports facility into a hospitality-driven urban destination?
We’ve been exploring how padel, wellness and hospitality are beginning to overlap into a new kind of hybrid active leisure environment.
This feasibility study for The Collective House explores a modular padel and wellness concept designed to be adapted across multiple urban sites throughout London - combining sport, social space, wellness and hospitality into a commercially flexible destination model.
Alongside the courts, the proposal integrates café and lounge spaces, wellness facilities, yoga studios, retail and landscaped terraces to create a more experience-led environment focused on community, dwell time and long-term viability.
An interesting sector to watch as active leisure continues to evolve beyond standalone sports facilities.

Our proposal for luxury Pilates operator Ten Health & Fitness was actually a space that had previously been written off.
- Small and awkward ground floor footprint.
- Very high ceilings.
- A mezzanine cutting through the volume with extensive back-of-house space.
It didn’t fit a typical brief.
We developed a strategy that reframed how the space could be used - bringing operators back into the conversation, including Ten Health & Fitness.
The result is a calm, pared-back pilates and wellbeing studio where there hadn’t been a viable use before.
Not every project starts with design.
Some start with unlocking the problem.
