Saints Church Hackney
Saints Church Hackney
EBBA have worked on the Interpretation Plan to deliver a series of small interventions for Saints Church, Hackney with graphic designers OMSE & Family alongside John Pawson & Es Devlin. The project includes way finding signage as a way of helping visitors to engage with the grounds, designed as tall totems with framed openings to mimic the feature windows of the church. We are very thankful for being able to contribute to the restoration of the church.

Stanhope
Stanhope
A robust project completed last year to enlarge a family home. Taking inspiration from Florentian palaces with heavy rusticated bases and big timber entrances, the rear facade now gives a certain grandeur to the house and allows the large openings to extend the sense of enclosed space to the paved section of garden. The interior plays between the large sculpted ceiling and the delicate column, providing space for an airy and well proportioned kitchen/dining area. The project was realised on an incredibly tight budget while still managing to deliver a sense of craft through careful detailing and robust materials.

Studio Potter Exhibition
Studio Potter Exhibition
EBBA delivered an exhibition design for a special presentation of ‘Richard Batterham – Studio Potter’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The design tries to bring in a sense of the process from Richard’s studio, picking up on found details and textures. It also reimagines the use of the gallery and the way in which objects are displayed, so that visitors can capture the qualities of the material from the pieces.
Richard Batterham (1936 – 2021) was a renowned studio potter, who lived and worked in the village of Durweston, Dorset. He set up his pottery in 1959 and worked there independently for over 60 years, cultivating an instantly recognisable family of forms and a distinct making practice which set him apart from other potters of his time. This display presents a unique collection of pots, selected with Richard from his archive, tracing his exploration of form and uncompromising dedication to pottery.

Penhaligon’s
Penhaligon’s
The project was developed as part of the RIBA Regent Street Window Competition in 2014 for the classic perfumery, Penhaligons. The delicate copper lattice structure was designed as a reference to the antiquated methods of distilling perfume and the copper apparatus used in the process. The project was proposed as an evocated and experiential piece that aimed at drawing people into the shop to engage with the making of the perfume.
The project was awarded Best Dressed window and due to its success was later installed in 17 of their stores globally.

Gerrards Cross
We are developing proposals for two new homes sharing a likeness in plan yet responding to the needs of each family. Solid walls create the sense of a carved interior with joinery sitting between to line and break up spaces. The buildings reflect a tradition of Georgian architecture while details take inspiration from the local Arts & Crafts houses, an amalgamation of influences that result in a robust contemporary proposition.

Plod is a new playful stool that looks to simplify and – at the same time – express its construction.The form of the seat assumes it can be used in a multitude of ways, including as a combined arrangement to create a side or coffee table.The distinct bold form is designed to complement both traditional as well as contemporary interiors allowing for a very flexible piece for the home and gallery alike.
Made from 100% recycled paper, the Plod is richly textured in a dappled yet perfectly smooth surface. Due to the process of manufacture and the simplicity of its construction, the stool is able to be produced and assembled at incredible speed. Its assembly of 4 pieces and the distribution of the legs makes it a versatile and robust stool.

Late Constable Exhibition
Late Constable Exhibition
EBBA worked closely with the team at the Royal Academy of Arts and Graphic Designers Daly & Lyon to deliver a prestigious exhibition on Late Constable, looking at the modern artist’s work towards the end of his life. In response to a traditional painting show, the exhibition design reflects a clean and fresh aesthetic with colours that help to capture the tonal qualities of the show.
Large walls help to frame three of the key paintings in his oeuvre, while table displays present sketches of the larger paintings on show, a reference to the way in which drawings were historically hung at events at the Royal Academy – a nod to the fact Constable was only made an Academician very late in life.
Overall the exhibition design tries to create a backdrop and spatial arrangement that helps to elevate the works on show without distracting from the importance of the paintings themselves.

Bankside Loft
Bankside Loft
EBBA recently completed an apartment refurbishment in Bankside. The open plan arrangement is intended to provide a bright space for flexible living and working. As part of the refurbishment walls were removed helping to open up the apartment, revealing the molded concrete frame of the existing building. Either side of the structure sit two mezzanines that make use of the tall ceilings, offering more private areas for sleeping and study above.
Functional areas such as kitchen and bathroom sit under the mezzanines with in built storage maximizing the use of the space. The plan is designed for cooking and working on one side while living and sleeping on the other, with potential for most areas to be interchanged through loose furniture. The project uses an economical yet high grade pine as the primary material for the construction of the structural elements, stairs, paneling and joinery, finished in a white stain that helps to bring out the grain in the timber.
Panels wrap one side of the living space making a more intimate experience and produce a sense of enclosure. The fabrication methods, from the joints to the interlocking members give the project a clear expression of how the structures are made. An existing timber floor was restored and re-stained giving a natural tone to the apartment while the red ceramic tiles in the kitchen add to the warmth of the neutral space.
Robust light fixtures and discrete cupboards throughout complement the vertical lines and paired back detailing. Overall the result is a compact yet flexible loft apartment that accommodates a modern way of living.
