Large open plan spaces are broken up with joinery

Large open plan spaces are broken up with joinery ‘boxes’ that conceal functional services, storage and bathrooms. Suspended and concealed uplighting creates a warm glow across the exposed structure, highlighting the existing texture and variation in the concrete while visually unifying the apartment. The spaces are subdued and masculine, with pops of saturated colour, pattern and lighting, creating dramatic focal points throughout the home.⠀

'Bringing residential luxury to a converted warehouse space involves clearing everything out and starting anew. This London project embraced the industrial aesthetic but with a clean, warm, and sleek design scheme to turn it into a highly-desirable home.'⠀

In many different ways 2020 was tough for us all,

In many different ways 2020 was tough for us all, but Practice Director Bianca meticulously kept the team and the practice level headed and moving forward in her own inimitable way. For the past 12 years, Bianca has championed a caring and supportive environment at InsideOut. This year Bianca went above and beyond to make sure that this ethos was extended to our home workspaces, always providing a insightful perspective on project work and working tirelessly to check in with us when it really counted. We want to say a big thank you to Bianca for the support and reassurance that she has provided for the last 12 years.

Last but certainly not least the team wanted to give a big shout out to our Directors ⠀
⠀
With a wealth of experience and personable demeanour, our founding director Chris Parker brings grounded strategic vision and professionalism to our studio and is an invaluable asset to any of our Clients. Leading our studio through nearly two decades in the construction industry, Chris has navigated the unique hurdles of 2020 in an assured and holistic manner, allowing InsideOut to break new ground on both commercial and residential fronts. With this, our studio has not only held fort, but have strengthened tools for broader horizons to give us and our Clients a strong outlook for 2021.

With her impeccable taste and deep knowledge of material, our in-house Interior Designer Marianna Ntalipi has been carefully crafting several stunning projects throughout 2020. Ranging between converted warehouse dwellings, large family estates and luxury new-build homes, every single one of Marianna’s projects has hugely benefitted from her natural touch and composition of colour, texture and material. We look forward to sharing photos of some of these very special spaces once completed in 2021.

Following Daniel’s extremely successful delivery

Following Daniel’s extremely successful delivery of our Brisbane My Lounge project, Daniel has spent most of 2020 detailing some of our multi-unit residential schemes. If there is any need for thorough, detail-focussed work Daniel is your Architect! His incessant perseverance on arriving at the right solution or detail for a specific project is commendable and his research skills are second to none. As our sustainability champion, Daniel continues to inspire us all in our ambition to add real value through high quality, cost-effective and sustainable design. If they are not already in your calendar, Daniel’s regular Eco-Blasts are a wonderful resource to look forward to every fortnight; look out for them!

Whether it is Architecture, Plants or Food, our Ar

Whether it is Architecture, Plants or Food, our Architectural Assistant Andy Min Lee applies immense passion, craftmanship and creativity to everything he does. An admirable work ethic and natural flair are only a few of his skills which, coupled with his nurturing attitude and constant smile, make him an invaluable asset to any team and InsideOut is lucky to have him! Andy has influenced our residential scheme at Lamberhurst among many other projects and we look forward to his progression to becoming a fully qualified Architect very soon!

Our detail-driven Senior Designer Andrea Koerner h

Our detail-driven Senior Designer Andrea Koerner has further cemented InsideOut’s reputation as a hands-on diligent practice while leading our role of client advocate on a number of Design & Build projects throughout 2020. Working client-side and putting all our hard-earned knowledge and experience to an exciting new use, Andrea has excelled at providing valuable detailed guidance on design, oversight to ensure quality execution and continued assistance to get full buy-in from project stakeholders. As an integral Senior member of our team, Andrea acts as a key mentor within the practice, and externally she is highly respected and trusted among Project Team members. Any project is extremely safe in Andrea’s hands.

As one of our most experienced staff team members,

As one of our most experienced staff team members, our Associate Anthony Hall, has spent most of 2020 highly focussed on the physical delivery of two very important projects for our practice; our 14-unit Passivhaus development in Faversham and our 22-unit scheme at Knollys Road. With his personable, engaging nature and wealth of experience, Anthony continues to forge great, collaborative relationships with clients and consultants alike. Anthony’s strong design skills and his design overview continue to be an extremely important asset within the practice. 2021 should see the fruition of several masterplans that Anthony has penned over the past 12 months; we look forward to sharing these once completed!

2020 was a busy year for our Senior Architect Jame

2020 was a busy year for our Senior Architect James Barrett, who has been revisiting his childhood context of the South Downs National Park through leading the design delivery of our 72-unit residential scheme in Saltdean as well as the design and detailing of a Listed pub restoration in Jevington. In contrast to these rural projects, James’ London-based projects this year include a full refurbishment of an Edwardian mid-terrace property in the Maida Vale Conservation Area as well as very detailed restoration aspects of a Listed building within the prestigious K1 Knightsbridge development. With his exemplary work ethic and professionality, James is highly respected among our team as well as external clients and consultants and continues to play an important role in mentoring our younger team members.

Helen is the most recent addition to the InsideOut

Helen is the most recent addition to the InsideOut team, and we are lucky to have her. On a day-to-day basis she ensures our book-keeping and finances are kept up to date - which allows the rest of the team to concentrate on our clients and their projects. Helen has also been a key part of the team implementing our new business management system this year, enabling us to thoroughly analyse our costs and resources, which will benefit our clients with much clearer financial reporting.

Cathy has been instrumental this year in the chang

Cathy has been instrumental this year in the change at InsideOut from a shareholder owned business to an Employee Owned Trust. As well as her day job of managing the practice, she has also now taken on the role as a Trustee of the Inside Out Architecture Trust. This role is not entirely new to her as she has been a school trustee for many years - only time will tell whether we are as unruly as the school kids.

Jack is a man of many talents. As well as being in

Jack is a man of many talents. As well as being instrumental to the successful delivery of the flagship Pret A manger store at LHR T2, he has also been taking a lead on some turnkey projects for us this year and has relished the opportunity to demonstrate his project management skills alongside his undoubted skill as a designer. Please don't ask him about it though - its top secret! As Jack is also our Marketing lead, we are sure that this must be frustrating for him, as he is much more used to shouting about our success from the rooftops!

Happy New Year! Last year was a tough one! As we s

Happy New Year! Last year was a tough one! As we start the New Year, Chris and Bianca wanted to take the time to say thank you to our team members, who really made last year a little brighter.⠀
⠀
Associate Director Phil has a calm and measured approach - and it is just as well, as he has had an extremely busy year so far. His year started with the completion of our largest retail project to date - the flagship Pret A Manger store at LHR T2, and then moved on to his most challenging project to date - bringing up 3 children under the age of 5 - Welcome to the world young Alfred! InsideOut were honoured to be asked to design the networking hub for the Sleep & Eat show this year, and Phil has done a great job leading the team on this - the show changed to a virtual, rather than physical show for obvious reasons, but the end result is still stunning. To round off the year Phil will be demonstrating the breadth of his knowledge by pulling together the detailed design for a 72-unit residential scheme in the South Downs.

As an ISO 9001 certified practice, we take our client's and consultant's feedback very seriously, its a constructive process for us and gives us a great sense of delight when we get a testimonial like this one. ⠀
