Several new projects inbound,  luxury interiors in London's leafier districts alongside commercial projects in the City and mixed-used residential/commercial developments in Kent. We will be doing a site-update in early July featuring an updated batch of recent projects over the last 6 months as well as case studies and of course; photos! We are also absolutely delighted that Tatler described Wabi London as "Cool and rather beautiful, devoid of knick-knackery"  in their prestigious 2013 restaurant guide which is high-praise indeed and neatly sums up our vision for the dining area.

We're currently working on several luxury refurbishment projects across the Capital, details of these projects will be added to the site as the projects get in to full-swing.

We've been commissioned to convert a riverside former-restaurant in to traditional English tea-rooms, the brief is to create a high-quality meeting place for the local community and visitors to the darenth valley village of Eynsford.

Wabi, the new restaurant we've designed in Central London has been getting some impressive reviews of late - here's what some of the critics have to say about the interior:

Wabi is all about simplicity and elegance, starting with the waterfall behind the staircase as you arrive, and continuing through into the service and clarity of the dining experience. Hungry Londoner.

Now I don't want to over sell Wabi, so I am going to be conservative and simply say, "This is the best Japanese restaurant I've ever been to". Wabi, named after the aesthetic movement characterised by simple undeclared beauty. Here reflected in the seductive décor of this large basement furnished with dark wood tables, low lighting, plush seating and a wall water feature. Pebblesoup.

Step out of the noise and tourist hustle of Holborn, hand your coat in at the door and step down into an underground bar and dining room. Wabi is softly lit with dark wood tables and bar, beautiful Japanese ceramics and walnut chopsticks. The bar’s separated from the dining room by potted bamboo, but the tables are open-plan, with a long dark suede banquette on one edge of the room. ViewLondon

Following the success of his Horsham outpost, Executive Chef Scott Hallsworth, formerly of Nobu, has opened a second of his Wabi restaurants in Holborn. As you’d expect, Wabi London is a sleek, high-end affair. Esquire.

We've nearly finished the conversion and development of two agricultural barns into four luxury residential units in Austin Lodge, Kent - before-and-after photos will be available shortly!

Arcitectus was commissioned to design a large contemporary Japanese restaurant in Kingsway, in Holborn. The initial pitch was completed late 2011 and featured an innovative origami-derived sculptural ceiling design.

The restaurant is due to open this October and features one of the world's most renowned chefs. Photos of initial design concepts to follow.

Arcitectus has been commissioned to renovate the reception and common areas for a commercial property in EC1, London, forming part of planned works to improve and develop the quality of the building for existing and prospective tennants.
