With every building project there will always be set-backs along the way, particularly with developments on sensitive sites and with designs that seek to set a new architectural precedent for the area. This has been the case with our Lambeth Mission Church development near to London’s landmark Imperial War Museum. After two years of design development and negotiation with the church client, the Greater London Authority, the local community and Lambeth Council we have yet to obtain planning permission for our new ecclesiastical and hotel development, with the design being refused at planning committee. At Kyson we endeavour to meet the needs of our clients and are fully committed to working with the key stakeholders in appealing the decision. We view this set-back as a key point along the lifetime of this project and look forward to seeing how the project develops in the coming months.

Studio Kyson have been announced as finalists for the Office Category for BD’s Architect of the Year Award. Our submission incorporates two of our most recent office developments in Shoreditch and our successful One Pear Place multi-use project.

Three years after our appointment we are excited to have reached practical completion on our historic private residence in Chelsea. This exciting project sees the amalgamation of two townhouses into one and the introduction of a quadruple basement.

Studio Kyson are currently undertaking the interior design concept for an office fit-out in east London. With each room separated by a black painted Crittall glazing system, the combination of rubber granulate flooring, reclaimed oak panelling, fluted glass and exposed concrete creates an industrial aesthetic, emphasised further by the exposed services.

Studio Kyson have completed the interior design for the entrance to a new office building near Old Street, London. The design draws its inspiration from the architecture of the 19th century industrial warehouses make up the local urban grain. Orthogonal geometry and hard, tactile materials of metal, concrete and stone create a robust aesthetic befitting its setting within the historically industrial east London.

Studio Kyson have completed the design of a fully sustainable, off-grid private house set in an area of natural beauty in north Yorkshire. The design seeks to apply simple yet refined principles of light, order and proportion to create a minimalist design which invites the surrounding countryside deep into the heart of the home.
