WELCOME!
Welcome to the Instagram feed of Alexander Owen.
Here you'll find out about our latest projects on the drawings boards, those making their way out of the ground and the ones most recently hoovered and polished ready for shooting.
Very proud to have had our Hansler Road project recognised and Highly Commended by the @StoneFederation of Great Britain in the 'New Build Modern Style Stone Cladding' category at the 2022 #NaturalStoneAwards.
.
"The Judges were impressed with the attention to detail and commitment to delivering a design-led scheme demonstrated by the architects. They noted that the façade is weathering well and delivers a truly unique domestic dwelling which celebrates the natural movement and longevity of natural stone.”

This week we’ve proudly travelled to Verona to speak at Marmo+Mac 2022. We’ve been invited to present Hansler Road as part of "StoneLand, a photographic exhibition of projects typifying the use of natural stone developed by 15 international architectural firms”.
.
"Marmomac is the most important world fair dedicated to the entire stone production chain, from the quarry to the processed product, from technologies and machinery to tools. Born in one of the main Italian districts for the extraction and processing of natural stone, Marmomac is today the main international hub of the sector’s protagonists, an irreplaceable platform where business and professional development meet, becoming a privileged place for innovation and training."

Cream, wire-cut bricks form the inner spine wall of this new, independent entrance corridor to our East Dulwich project. The bricks project upwards through a recessed structural glass roof window, allowing the brick to seamlessly pass ‘through’ the glass up to the brick on edge capping detail above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The material palette on the whole project has been selected to flow seamlessly from the inside out and provide a calm and tranquil look and feel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cream, wire-cut bricks form two feature spine walls for our East Dulwich corner plot, which together with black blockwork create a bold architectural aesthetic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The black blocks are used as an industrial contrast to the more domestic cream bricks and help to make a dramatic feature of the spine walls, as well as a new and independent entrance to the flat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lighting was a keen focus for our latest project in East Dulwich.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our client Christian is able to fully control the look and feel of his home at night. We installed independent lighting circuits for all zones including the exterior garden and internal courtyard lighting up the beautiful Acer tree at night.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is the jacuzzi at our East Sheen Pool House project, looking back across the swimming pool towards the main house.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The jacuzzi is designed to be partially enclosed with a cantilevered armourcoat roof and includes natural cedar cladding to the surrounds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Similarly to the sauna, we included a picture window to frame the landscaping and foliage towards the back of the garden.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘Control 4’ automated feature lighting has been installed in and around the building and landscaping to provide a dramatic atmosphere at night. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Each material in our East Dulwich kitchen extension was selected for its own unique natural quality, look and feel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result gives a calming sense of warmth and tactility to the space through a balance of the organic and the engineered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our amazing client's Simon and Carolyn are big enthusiasts of pop art, playful sculpture, bold colour and furniture design.
.
Our design for their kitchen extension aimed to draw on their passions as inspiration and create a piece of architecture that truly expressed who they are as people, as well as the things they love.
.
The result is a design that looks like 3D sculpture from some angles and 2d graphics from others, all the while maintaining the practical requirements of their home.
.
We believe that homes can be as unique as their owners.
.
'Simon and Carolyn's Place' is one of 22 projects shortlisted for the @nlalondon - Dont Move Improve awards 2021.

The outside space of our West Norwood project was just as important to design as the inside space. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We can't wait to see it in the spring to see the foliage growing up and over the bespoke pergola - the perfect natural solar shade. Roll on the summer!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The marble cuts of our East Dulwich project were designed to make the building feel monolithic and heavy, portraying the idea of the two stone variants being compressed together, under immense pressure over long periods of time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The marble has been mitred at the door and window reveals, each section digitally cut for very precise 90 degree junctions between the individual marble pieces. This allows the cladding and critically the cut lines to seamlessly wrap themselves inside and outside the building through the glazing frames.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
