Nex
Tucked amongst the quiet lanes of Hammersmith, Nex’s recent refurbishment transforms an unloved mews into a playfully considered office space for landscape architect Marcus Barnett and his growing team. Timber features as a key component, which can be seen in the hand-crafted ceiling that brings the team ‘under one roof’ on the first floor. Made from individual timber slats, each is marked with a series of notches. When suspended, the notches come together to form an undulating line, reminiscent of the curves and contours found in nature. Their shape and arrangement were derived from various different iterations, allowing these to be easily and precisely hand-cut.
