Where art, design and architecture meet.

A painting can set the tone for an entire room. A sculpture can draw the eye through a space. A much-loved artwork can become the starting point for a home.

Following Frieze London and the Affordable Art Fair, we’ve been talking in the studio about the art that stays with us — from Francesca Mollett’s immersive, watery abstractions to Carrie Jean Goldsmith’s rich, expressive brushwork.

These conversations echo those we have with our clients: about the pieces they treasure, the collections they hope to build, and how they want their spaces to feel.

Sometimes an artwork inspires a palette or a material choice. Sometimes light, proportion and architecture create the setting for a piece to come into its own. In a home, restaurant or hotel, that relationship helps shape atmosphere, character and the way we experience a place.

At Finkernagel Ross, art is part of the conversation from the beginning.

Is there an artwork that has shaped the way you feel about a space?

Join our team in London.

We’re looking for a thoughtful, curious Part II Architectural Assistant and a considered, capable Part III Project Architect to join our Shoreditch studio.

At Finkernagel Ross, architecture and interiors develop together from the outset. From new-build homes and sensitive renovations to boutique hospitality spaces, our work brings clear spatial thinking, inventive ideas and carefully resolved materials together to create places that endure.

We’d love to hear from people who share our care for design, detail and how spaces are experienced.

• Part II Architectural Assistant — with three years’ relevant studio experience and confidence using ArchiCAD.
• Part III Project Architect — with five or more years’ post-Part III experience and a proven record of leading bespoke residential projects from concept to completion.

We offer a friendly, collaborative studio, regular design reviews and weekly CPD. Our hybrid arrangement brings us together in Shoreditch Tuesday–Thursday, with the option to work from home on Mondays and Fridays.

We are delighted to have secured approval for the substantial extension and transformation of a family home in Hampstead.

The project began with conversations about how our clients live: Friday dinners around a busy table, guests arriving from overseas, family gatherings, quiet retreat, abundant natural light and a stronger connection to the garden.

Rather than simply creating more space, the proposal rethinks how a home can support evolving family life - balancing openness with intimacy, connection with calm.

Long views and large glazed openings establish a natural flow between house and garden, while simple detailing and a minimal palette of warm, tactile materials create a peaceful backdrop for everyday life, art and furniture.

The idea of a healthy home runs throughout the design, from light, air and energy-conscious measures to the careful selection of finishes, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Architecture and interiors are considered together, with each decision contributing to how the home will look, feel and perform.

Planning approval marks an important milestone, and we are excited to move into the next chapter.

The guest sees the theatre. Behind the scenes, it needs to run like a machine.

A memorable restaurant needs atmosphere, personality and moments of surprise -something unexpected that catches the eye, changes the mood or rewards a guest for exploring further.

But it must also work as a business.

Capacity, acoustics, kitchen connections and service routes all shape the experience. Even the transition from bright working light to intimate dining light must be carefully considered.

“I’m always looking for that moment of surprise — something you didn’t expect to find. I love spaces that reveal themselves slowly, so you leave feeling like there’s still more to discover.”

For Stephanie Riedl, creativity and commercial thinking are not opposing forces. Both belong within the design brief.

The aim is to create an interior that captures the imagination while supporting the people working within it — a place that functions beautifully, performs from opening day and gives guests a reason to return.

Designing an experience: meet Stephanie Riedl.

The most memorable restaurants do more than provide a setting for food. They create a world of their own.

A world shaped through light, colour, sound, material and movement, and often rooted in the building, its neighbourhood or a fragment of local history.

This concept-led approach is central to the work of Stephanie Riedl, Senior Interior Architect and Hospitality Design Specialist at Finkernagel Ross.

With more than ten years’ experience designing restaurants, bars and food and beverage environments, Stephanie brings together creative imagination and a deep understanding of how hospitality spaces operate.

“For me, great design goes beyond creating a beautiful interior. It’s about understanding the complete experience — how a space feels, flows and operates, and how everything from layout, materials and lighting to branding, service and the smallest details comes together.”

We look forward to sharing more about Stephanie's approach to creating places with personality, atmosphere and a world of their own.

Making sense of the whole.

When Tinie Tempah explored Thirsk Cottage for Channel 4’s Extraordinary Extensions, he picked up on something fundamental to the project: “It’s all about flow and interconnectivity here.”

The existing cottage had evolved through decades of piecemeal additions, leaving behind fragmented rooms, awkward level changes and little connection to the garden. Rather than simply adding more space, our aim was to bring clarity to what was already there.

A double-height entrance draws the eye through the house. Carefully composed sightlines connect its more intimate rooms to the garden, while the vaulted extension introduces a dramatic new sense of light and volume.

Travertine and stained oak bring warmth and tactility within; outside, weathered steel echoes the colour of the original roof tiles. New and old are distinct, but belong to one architectural language.

As Tinie concluded: “This rear extension finally makes sense of the whole house - in materiality and in language.”

“This cottage has been ramped up!”

Last week, our transformation of Thirsk Cottage featured on Channel 4’s Extraordinary Extensions, presented by Tinie Tempah.

Over time, a series of additions and changing floor levels had left this North London home feeling fragmented. Our design brings clarity to the whole: opening up the entrance, reconnecting the rooms and creating a new vaulted extension shaped by light, volume and views into the garden.

Intimate rooms within the original cottage now give way to a generous space for cooking, gathering and entertaining — or, as Tinie put it, “cosy gives way to full-on ‘wow’.”

It was a real pleasure to see the project through his eyes.
