Library for the Arborist

A space for research, conversation and the exchange of knowledge, the office project was conceived as a contemporary library for a biodiversity consultancy. Dark timber walls, warm ambient lighting and shelves of books and reference material give the interior the intimacy of an old study, while the existing stained-glass windows are retained as moments of colour within the darker palette. Large internal openings connect the workplace visually, creating a setting that supports both everyday collaboration and more considered discussions with clients.

Rather than behaving as a conventional office, the space becomes an evolving archive of the practice itself - a place where knowledge of landscapes, species and living systems can be gathered, discussed and shared.
