New Gallery
New Gallery
EBBA have worked on the design of a new gallery space in Central London, transforming and extending a unique building to provide additional exhibition spaces and a cafe that connects to a mews street at ground level. The project is about improving the circulation and connection to the existing gallery while introducing a series of volumes that help to add well-proportioned spaces for the display of art. A lightweight linking structure helps to connect the new and old, while the solid mass of the building responds to the piece-meal qualities at the rear of the mews.
The subtle yet bold gesture of the new interlocking structure acts as a bridge to the new spaces, connecting visually to different levels of the building. The steel language is a nod to the industrial heritage of the mews and can be seen as a reference to the working nature of this part of London.

ALL PROJECTS Gallery
ALL PROJECTS Gallery
ALL PROJECTS is a new gallery without disciplinary borders. Rather than presenting finished objects in isolation, the gallery foregrounds process, exchange and collaboration. The space has been established as a platform for practitioners working in art, fashion, architecture and design to be in dialogue, generating projects that emerge from shared ideas and diverse practices.
The gallery operates as both exhibition and shared space. A site where ideas are developed in public view, where the making is as meaningful as the final work.
Closely aligned with EBBA’s interests in cultural spaces, the design of the gallery has been envisioned as a place that can adapt as the programming changes. A large galvanised entrance also connects with the idea of connection by opening up entirely to the street. The project has brought together collaborators in the creation of a new space to support culture in London, including a series of events with brands and institutions including Tenderbooks, Space Talk and the Architecture Foundation.

Parallel Sessions Gallery
Parallel Sessions Gallery
Parallel Sessions reimagines the traditional gallery model through a close collaboration between artist Olu Odukoya and architect Benni Allan, founding director of EBBA. Conceived in 2018 and realised in 2024, the project emerged from a shared desire to create a more flexible, intimate way to engage with art. The two met by chance in East London’s Hackney, where mutual interests in interdisciplinary work and challenging creative norms sparked the idea.
Located on Teesdale Street, the gallery is housed in a modest 3x3x3 metre unit. EBBA helped transform the space into a hybrid gallery-studio, using minimal interventions to prioritise the artwork. The design is intentionally pared back to be compact, tactile and direct, allowing each installation to take centre stage.
The programme is non-linear and time-based, with exhibitions presented as “sessions” that vary in length and form, grouped into evolving “seasons.” This structure allows for repetition, looping and experimentation, giving artists complete control over how their work is experienced.
Originally inspired by a concept for a replicable gallery, Parallel Sessions now includes a digital platform streaming live footage of exhibitions, further extending access. Ultimately, the project embraces limitations as a creative driver, offering a unique model for showcasing diverse, process-led work in both physical and virtual formats.

Tenderbooks Pop-Up
Tenderbooks Pop-Up
EBBA collaborated with Tenderbooks on a pop-up presentation at ALL PROJECTS.
The books where designed to be held by a simple shelf system, aimed to showcase assembly and an economy of means: made from a single piece of standard sheet material.
The gathering of publications by Tenderbooks moved between classroom and studio, archive and image, object and interior. From material entanglements and design exercises to photography, loss, light and the poetics of arrangement, the selection invited us to reconsider how books, spaces and gestures shape the way we see and inhabit the world.
Examples include:
Workbooks 1984-2024 – Nigel Shafran
Work-Leisure – Babak Hashemi-Nezhad
Inventory Works – Max Lamb
Models – Bianca Pedrina
