Hammersmith
In collaboration with renowned architects McLaren Excell, this project showcases unique architectural solutions that bring a striking modern minimalist design to life. At the heart of the home lies an open-plan courtyard, beautifully framed by floor-to-ceiling glass walls that flood the interior with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Exposed concrete walls further enhance the raw, industrial aesthetic, adding character and texture to the space.

Creating an open-plan courtyard surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass required precise engineering to ensure structural stability and seamless integration with the rest of the home. Incorporating exposed concrete walls meant careful attention to detail to achieve the desired raw, industrial look without compromising quality.
