what we’ve been up to lately

Another project is soon to reach Practical Complet Another project is soon to reach Practical Completion!

We have designed a small garden studio in Hackney to accommodate an increased need for working from home. 

The floor, desk, bench + walls up to dado level are cast out of insitu concrete, which was a challenge on site but is looking good. 

There is a large bespoke rooflight in the back corner to take advantage of the view of the trees, and a full wall of south facing glazing supplied by @odcdoorglass 

Stained timber slats have been added in order to shade the south facing glazed elevation.

We can’t wait to show you the finished result!

I am very proud to be the third generation of female architects in my family.  Here we have:⠀
⠀
1. My grandmother, Magda Borowiecka, in front of Southwyck House (otherwise known as The Barrier Block), her most famous post war housing block in Brixton.⠀
⠀
2. My mum, Elizabeth Borowiecka, who has run her own practice for over 40 years and is still going strong.⠀
⠀
3. Me sketching at the studio.⠀

⠀
4. My daughter Lexi, who wants to be a princess as opposed to an architect, but is pretty good at post modern building block constructions! ⠀
⠀
We are also lucky to work with lots of talented women - clients, structural engineers, builders, M&E consultants, lighting designers etc.⠀

In addition to our many exciting residential proje In addition to our many exciting residential projects, studio on the rye also works on commercial buildings.

Pictured is a sneak peek of Bermondsey Street, a beautiful Grade II Listed building where we have converted a Pilates studio into an office space for a media company.

This is the new washroom with @diespeker terrazzo flooring, @shawsofdarwenuk butler sinks, @dyson hand dryer and @pookylights lights + mirrors. 

The main office space has beautiful existing oak flooring, which we referenced with the bespoke vanity unit, doors and architraves.

We have almost reached Practical Completion on sit We have almost reached Practical Completion on site at Lyndhurst Grove, where we have renovated the lower ground floor and garden of a lovely 4 storey Victorian house, including adding a new external courtyard, replacing the kitchen, and adding a new staircase.

Pictured is the new bespoke oak stair. The previous stair blocked light to the lower ground floor, so we designed this staircase to be as open as possible, with open risers, a slatted balustrade and minimal oak structure. 

Oak was selected to add warmth and texture to the space, and to compliment the @bauwerkcolour limewash walls.

We can’t wait to show you the final results!

The textured plaster walls at our renovation of a The textured plaster walls at our renovation of a grade II listed building on Bermondsey Street, where we are converting it from a Pilates studio into an office space.

This plastering technique was achieved with a thick top coat of single coat plaster, applying like you would a stippled artex wall, then sponging it down when part way dry. 

Polished plaster has become all the rage, but can be costly due to the materials and skilled application required. Here we have added a texture and warmth to the space, similar to that of polished plaster, but at a fraction of the cost.

We have recently been branching out into commercial projects, which we have been really enjoying!

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. The orig Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark.

The original museum was built as an extension to an old villa in the late 1950s, and is a beautiful example of discreet modernism, designed by Jørgen Bo and Wilhelm Wohlert. It has a sprawling floor plan that sits perfectly into its landscape. 

Since then it has been extended seven times, all by Bo and Wohlert, the extensions spreading seamlessly around the terrain using a material palette that reflects its natural setting.
