Studio Beech specialises in revealing the potential of existing buildings and materials to be adapted for a new purpose.
Taking a client-centric approach to understand how a space will be inhabited and used, Studio Beech designs harmonious spaces that both function well and make people feel good.
Conserving resources and reducing waste is imperative - not only to reduce costs but to promote sustainable construction. The studio practices a ‘waste not, want not’ approach to developing structures that acknowledge and embrace our Earth’s shifting conditions.
The design process is informed by a dialogue between the old and the new. By referencing the history of place and materials the architecture retains a strong relationship to the surrounding environment whilst preserving character and charm.
