De Rosee Sa is an award-winning architecture and interior design studio based in London, Lisbon and Brussels. Founders Max de Rosee and Claire Sa guide an experienced team, fostering an holistic approach as the foundation to all the projects they undertake. The studio is defined by their strong sense of materiality and detailing, which steers them away from a ‘one size fits all’ signature aesthetic and allows them to maximise the potential of each project in turn.

De Rosee Sa’s imaginative design schemes span the residential, retail and community sectors. Their work across a broad range of projects means they have significant experience working with local planning departments and building contractors, as well as a thorough understanding of working with listed buildings and within conservation areas. They were recently listed as one of House & Garden Top 100 Interior Designers 2021 and featured on Homes & Gardens ‘The Hundred List’ 2019.

The multi-award-winning studio has a particular focus on listed buildings, regeneration, interiors, and small-scale development, all with a goal to sustain “the beauty, usefulness and relevance of our built environment through conservation, restoration, and development”. 

With their commitment to the importance of conservation and regeneration, Robert Rhodes Architecture and Interiors transform old houses to create useful, practical and beautiful spaces. Director Robert Rhodes trained in the Bauhaus tradition and practised contemporary classicism – this thoughtful approach is evident in the studio’s exceptional attention to detail.

Finkernagel Ross are a London and Hamburg based team creating bold and impactful architecture and interior design. They embrace every project as an opportunity to craft the unexpected from a unique and distinctive idea, making the result inherently bespoke and personal.

From the initial vision through to the finishing touches, they strive to use light to create impact, harness materials to do the unexpected and make the most of every detail to create something extraordinary. They relish injecting an element of adventure, drama or surprise. They reinforce design with colour, combining layers to create a rich and characterful style and mixing old with new. Tradition matters to them and they’re inspired by the way things have always been done, by the age-old craft of making and by enduring materials such as stone, steel and timber.

They know that everything has to add up – the financial investment, the design, the delivery – and they share in the entrepreneurial spirit and drive of their clients while maintaining a personal service.

Space Group’s present works have their roots combined in the past, such as forgotten methods, and in future technologies. Every project, built or un-built, follows a key-narrative that is identified at an early stage. Once it is found it is rolled out over the entire project no matter what scale. This is why Space Group prefer to be involved in projects down to the last detail – from the urban context to the architectural space to the finishes and furniture.
