The National Theatre, love it or hate it, is even more stunning in a cool and soft winter light. Designed by Denys Lasdun and completed in the mid 70’s it’s a beautiful brute to photograph. The rough cast concrete surfaces imprinted by timber planks are its signature and form the vast terraces (or Strata […]
Dense urban areas need all the greenery they can get – it really is a no brainer. Walking around the developments in Vauxhall, London recently it was so striking that very little thought had gone into the environment or community wellbeing with barely any sizeable green areas or accessible spaces. It was a […]
London’s PLP Architecture has recently completed a super stylish, high end new office headquarters in the heart of London. It feels like you’ve fallen into a delicious box of luxury chocolates on the ground floor with curves a plenty. The exquisite carpentry and amazing white desk warrants smoothing as you pass by, (I was very happy just […]
There are curves aplenty and wonderful garden terraces throughout this amazing build in the City of London. It has been developed by British Land and sits directly next to Liverpool Street Station and Broadgate. It was rebuilt and extended from an existing 1980’s building and designed by the wonderful Hopkins Architects. They stripped it back […]
There seems to have been a theme to commissions recently based around capturing offices where companies have invested in making their workplaces much more appealing. Why work from home when you could hang out in this cafe style workplace? I loved the astro turf which ran a fun route through these modern offices. Simple touch […]

Shooting for one of my favourite design agencies, we had a great 2 days in Dublin, capturing elements of Hibernia’s wonderful office environments. This part of Ireland has been dubbed Europe’s Silicon Valley and hosts Twitter, LinkedIn, eBay, Google and Facebook to name a few. The skyline is full of cranes and it’s still booming. […]
The large shade making canopies, the really beautifully crafted materials, the detailing and textures make this a truly enviable residential project created by London’s lovely Walker Bushe architects. The building has a California style which reminded me a little of the fab location house used in ‘A Single Man’ (if you’ve seen the film by […]

Singapore is so inspiring with it’s dedication to green space / sustainable buildings, and more importantly its developments and designs are considering community wellbeing. It’s something more super cities should be thinking about more urgently, especially with our ageing populations. Super city living needs to be more considerate.
