Studio weave

Studio Weave has added a community centre to Lea Bridge Library in London, with a red-concrete colonnade and wood-lined interior.

We like it when people collaborate. There's something pleasing about imagining a bunch of folks with unique interests and skills embracing their differences to do something they wouldn't have been able to on their own. What's even better is when those different people with different skills happen to be two of your favourite practitioners in architecture and illustration respectively, coming together to produce a huge, colourful shed in the middle of the woods.

This school by Studio Weave features a scalloped roofline and double doors that slide back to connect the classrooms with their woodland setting.

Raw terracotta pendant lamps designed by Tom Housden for UK lighting brand Hand & Eye complement the natural clay finish of the handmade pamments (traditional floor tiles) used on the floor in the boot room and kitchen and the warmth of the Douglas Fir timber panelling on the walls.

studio weave's timber lea bridge library extension is punctuated by a curving glazed wall which creates a momentary squeeze in the space.

The extension sits in the shadow of the main cottage, so light was an important consideration. Roof lights introduce light to the interior, and a corner window in the first-floor studio takes advantage of the long, uninterrupted views down the valley.

A weathering-steel pavilion featuring fluid curves formed the centrepiece of this garden by Studio Weave and Tom Massey at the Chelsea Flower Show.
