  • Termite pavilion
    Termite pavilionA six metre cube constructed in KLH cross laminated timber, the Pestival pavilion was a hugely successful collaboration between Softroom, Freeform Engineering, Atelier One, KLH and sound artist Chris Watson. The results were a beautiful temporary public space educating visitors about the unique climate control characteristics of termite architecture. Our works focused on developing an integrated lighting scheme visually and dynamically communicating the energy of the architecture and soundscape.

  • House of Saint Barnabas
    House of Saint BarnabasA bespoke sculpture for the House of Saint Barnabas charity, located in their Soho Square private members bar.

  • Termite Pavilion
    Termite PavilionA typical collaborative project between Haberdashery, Softroom Architects and Atelier One, the Termite Pavilion is a 6 x 6 x 6m cube based on a scan of the central core of a termite mound in Namibia. By filling the pavilion with a programmed wash of light and sound, the activity of termites within their rapid prototype-like structures was communicated to a fascinated audience on London's Southbank.
  • Freq
    FreqAn exploration of light, geometry and reflection conceived in conjunction with photographer Julian Abrams, and exhibited in Hoxton, the V&A and Paris during 2013/14. Inspired by the works of László Moholy-Nagy, the geometries of Bridget Riley and Yayoi Kusama, each artwork invites the viewer to explore and interpret the rules by which the light falls upon each chosen surface. The series of artworks will be exhibited a the launch of the new Serena Morton gallery in autumn 2014.
  • Leaves
