Launched in 2006, Fourfoursixsix has offices in London and Bangkok. Partners Tim Ridd and Daniel Welham work on a varied range of projects - from a Thai eco-luxe resort to a penthouse refurbishment in Covent Garden - with the aim of creating 'innovative, unique and pragmatic architecture'. Avoiding a 'house style', the firm takes a site-specific approach to its work. Combining our brief with the principles of a Scandinavian summerhouse, Fourfoursixsix created a reinterpretation of the Nordic retreat. 'The tension between the geometric boundary of the site and the scheme's rural setting was intriguing,' they say. 'We utilised almost the full extent of the site, allowing the house to maximise the space while minimising its visual footprint'
