Space Group’s present works have their roots combined in the past, such as forgotten methods, and in future technologies. Every project, built or un-built, follows a key-narrative that is identified at an early stage. Once it is found it is rolled out over the entire project no matter what scale. This is why Space Group prefer to be involved in projects down to the last detail – from the urban context to the architectural space to the finishes and furniture.

Landscape architect Stefano Marinaz has carved out a career from his life-long love for plants, having grown up in a family of horticulturalists in Northern Italy. After completing degrees in both Agronomy and Landscape Architecture in his native Italy, as well as an MA in Landscape Architecture at the University of Greenwich, Marinaz worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew and Arne Maynard’s studio, with private clients that took him across the globe. In 2012 Marinaz established his own practice, undertaking commissions that range from large-scale, hard landscaping projects on country estates to smaller, urban plots. His work extends well beyond the usual plant schemes to include furniture, lighting, sculpture and fencing, as well as a thorough follow-up maintenance programme with the help of two Kew-trained gardeners that he employs.

Studio 163 is an Architecture RIBA Chartered Practice. Based in London and Norfolk, they are committed to producing meaningful places with a strong community focus.

Residential projects have included new build homes, extensions, retrofits as well as conservation-focused projects. They enjoy the challenges of awkward, previously unconsidered sites, straddling the line between planning, development and design.

The attitude of the office is to allow room for appropriation and customisation of spaces by the people who use them.

Ben Allen founded his eponymous, award-winning, multidisciplinary design practice in 2014.

After graduating from Mackintosh School of Architecture, Ben went on to work for Jonathan Tuckey Design before moving to Berlin, where he spent almost 10 years working for spatial research specialists, Studio Olafur Eliasson.

Studio Ben Allen is dedicated to ‘unique and engaging spatial sequences’ and incorporates a wealth of disciplines to bring a project to life. Working alongside Ben Allen himself are a host of experienced, in-house collaborators, including Omar Ghazal, who was Project Lead on House Recast – overall winner at the ‘Don’t Move Improve’ Awards 2021.

Studio Calvagno approaches design with a sensitivity to both the visible and the intangible — a practice rooted in intuition, experience and a deep understanding of how spaces are lived in. Each project is shaped in close dialogue with the client, resulting in interiors that are not only finely crafted, but also deeply personal.

Balancing comfort with quiet aspiration, Studio Calvagno’s work draws on the architectural potential of furniture, objects and light. Natural materials, nuanced tones and a considered blend of old, new and bespoke elements inform a design language that feels both grounded and elevated.

The studio was founded by Filippo Calvagno, whose creative background spans the worlds of art and dance. Born in Germany to Sicilian parents, his early exposure to artistic freedom continues to shape his approach today.

Studio Hagen Hall is a London-based multidisciplinary design studio working across architecture, interiors, furniture, product and textiles. Research, materiality, craft and detail underpin every project, regardless of scale or typology. The studio balances beauty, pragmatism and comfort equally, producing work that is precise in its execution yet warm and approachable in character.

Founded in 2021 by Louis Hagen Hall, the studio has quickly established a reputation for thoughtful transformations of early to late modernist buildings. Prior to setting up the studio, Louis studied at the Royal College of Art and the Architectural Association, and gained experience with notable practices including Peter Eisenman, Seth Stein and DSDHA before establishing Studio Hagen Hall.

Since its founding, Studio Hagen Hall has been recognised for its ability to preserve and reinterpret modernist architecture with sensitivity and clarity. Awards to date include a 2025 RIBA London Award for Pine Heath and Best House Interior at the Dezeen Awards 2021 for Canyon House, with further shortlisting across the Architect’s Journal Retrofit & Reuse Awards and the British Homes Awards. In recent years, Studio Hagen Hall’s work has been widely published in national and international media outlets including Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration, House & Garden, the Financial Times and the Observer. Louis Hagen Hall has also been nominated for the RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize in 2025.

Studio Hagen Hall is an RIBA Chartered Practice and works with a close team of architects, interior designers and assistants, supported by a trusted network of craftspeople and consultants. Together they pursue projects that combine rigour and craft with the aim of producing spaces that are enduring, tactile and deeply lived in.

Studio Knot was founded by Mark and Sinead Hanlon, after their idea to collaborate with artists to create one-off rug designs took off, selling out at its debut exhibition at Truman Brewery. From there, a host of private commissions kept the pair busy for a couple of years, leading them to found Studio Knot in 2014. For Mark and Sinead, rugs are a journey of story and creativity; they hold meaning and feel so personal that they transcend aesthetic fashions and fads.

Whilst the rugs are designed in Studio Knot’s Bruton-based workshop, they are handmade in one of three mills in either Nepal, India or Iran. Traditional and modern design methods are combined with age-old craftsmanship to create each rug. The process is intricate and expert, with as little as only 10-15cm of carpet made each day, meaning a rug can take months – or even years – to create. Studio Knot’s previous commercial clients include The Conran Shop, Locke Hotels and P Joseph.

Hand-making furniture in their London workshop since 2016, Studio Manolo brings together traditional craftsmanship with modern design and technique.

Founded in 2001 by designer and academic Ilse Crawford, Studioilse is a multi-disciplinary London-based design studio that places human emotion front and centre of everything it does, be it furniture and product design, or interior-scaping for private and commercial clients.

Crawford’s illustrious design credentials include the editorship of Elle Decoration – a title she founded in 1989 – and a stint as Vice President of Donna Karan Home. She set up her own firm to create spaces for clients that include Soho House, Electric Cinema and Aesop, as well as product collaborations with IKEA and Bolon. Crawford is also the founder of the Man and Wellbeing department at the Design Academy Eindhoven in Holland, and has written several books: Sensual Home (1997), Home is Where the Heart is? (2005) and more recently A Frame for Life (2014) – all exploring the idea of interior design rooted in one’s experience of a space, rather than simply what looks good in a room together.
