Site visits —

As a studio we offer a full architectural service throughout the project, from establishing the project brief together to issuing the final certificates at the end of the construction period.

Overseeing the construction period means that we can design solutions to any unforeseen elements that crop up during the build, help manage the involvement of the wider project team, and keep an eye on quality control, ensuring that what is built is as per the designs and specifications.

We also really enjoy visiting site, seeing our ideas take shape, watching our clients’ dream spaces become a reality, and really understanding every layer of the construction. So it’s not a completely selfless act.

The external walls are going up at Blenheim Grove, our 2 storey side extension in Peckham, and the spaces are emerging!

Pictured is the kitchen, and what will be the open glazed corner providing views to the rear and side gardens. The views will improve somewhat when the gardens aren’t filled with scaffolding and storage sheds, but instead our client’s beautiful plants!

I love this stage of a construction project — getting a feel for the spaces, seeing the months and months of hard work emerge from the ground.

What is your favourite part of a project?

I have had headshots done by the brilliant @the_st

I have had headshots done by the brilliant @the_studio22 , a fellow tenant of our co working space @workat_market , so I thought this would be a good time to say hi.

Hi! I’m Sarah, the founder of studio on the rye. I am a life-long resident of Peckham, and a proud member of a family of architects, of which I’m (part of) the fourth practicing generation.

In the years prior to forming studio on the rye I worked at a number of award-winning architecture and design practices including Heatherwick Studio, Wilkinson Eyre and Nissen Richards Studio. Over a period of twelve years, I gained experience across a wide range of projects from small-scale art installations to large mixed-use developments.

While I enjoyed working for larger studios, I found that I thrive on the close relationships and holistic approaches of smaller-scale projects.

So in 2016 I set up studio on the rye, an architecture and design studio specialising in extensions, renovations, loft conversions, new build houses and interiors.

Send me a message if you want to have a chat!

We are finalising the staircase design for our 2 s

We are finalising the staircase design for our 2 storey extension and house renovation in Peckham.

The hallway in the existing house is narrow and dark, so we have designed this open riser timber and steel staircase, creating a visual link through to the new kitchen. We have also removed the loft storage above the stair and added a large rooflight so that light will spill down to the ground floor.

Steel plates are attached to a steel string concealed in the wall, with timber treads sitting on top. The balusters are steel square section rods bolted to a steel beam above.

We can’t wait to see this one in production!

Whilst we wait for the pile foundations to be completed for the 2 storey extension at Blenheim Grove, work has begun in the existing house.

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!

Happy International Women’s Day!⠀
⠀
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.⠀
📷 @ceetop ⠀
⠀
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!
