Makkina Studios
Notting Hill, London - first prize
Completed in June 2005, the Makkina Studios building is an extensive renovation and conversion of an existing London townhouse into highly serviced studio and conference space. The studios embody the lustrous finish and fine detailing of luxury sports cars played off against calm diffuse planes that define the geometry of the workspaces. The client for the project was Makkina Ltd, one of the Europe's premier independent automotive design consultancies. "...a cleverly understated, stylish space… immaculately detailed."
