Currently working on the refurbishment of the conference facilities at the Barbican in London and a boutique hotel in Shoreditch, the team has also recently completed the Wenslauer House on an infill plot in Amsterdam. Their objective is to create works ‘with an inherent connection to their site, whether a street, park or landscape.’
