Maria Lisogorskaya discusses the collective’s approach to combining bespoke materials and finishes with off-the shelf products.
Amin Taha and Jason Coe explain the guiding principles behind the practice’s often innovative and always expressive use of materials.
Director Joe Haire explains how the practice’s growing interest in sustainability and the circular economy is reshaping its approach to design and materiality.
Morag Morrison and Massimo Tepedino talk about promoting the use of colour and materiality in projects and how the practice’s H\B:ERT tool shows the carbon embodiment of each material used.
Maria Cheung explains how two meticulously organised materials libraries reflect the importance of materiality, craft and making to the practice’s design approach.
Jamie Flynn and Tobias Jewson focus on finding lightweight low carbon solutions for sensitive sites and reducing the number of samples that end up in the skip.
Allie Mackinnon and Charlotte Qureshi enjoy materials that are sustainable, bold and colourful, and think outside the (pure white) box.
