The sleek metallic skyline of Canary Wharf in London, a geometrically perfect canal cut by a steel dagger of a bridge, and a small red brick home across it. Never before had a challenge of mine involved such contrasting elements.

The Director’s office feels like a colonial living room, while the employees’ offices are done up almost playfully, like a children’s room. Motifs and signature style come together in a “Stuart Little”-style home, desperately trying to disrupt the modern monolith that is Canary Wharf.
