]]>Israeli architecture studio Baranowitz & Goldberg recently unveiled its architecture and interior design work for concept Fishmonger store ‘Yama’ (derived from the Hebrew word ‘Yam’, which means ocean), located in the southern Tel Aviv neighborhood of Florentin.
The new establishment, conceptualized by the groundbreaking Israeli Chef Yuval Ben Neriah (Taizo, A), aims to be the first fishmonger to completely redefine its shopping experience, presenting a more high-end occurrence, similar to that of a boutique delicatessen.
As such, the space hasn’t been designed to resemble a typical fishmonger, and in its essence, it presents more like a jewelry store, where treasures plucked from the sea are presented to customers in an architecturally and sculpturally designed space. Every element has been carefully crafted to create an exceptional shopping experience.
Firstly, unlike others of its kind, the preparation process at Yama takes place behind the scenes, in the kitchen area discreetly located at the back of the store. Meanwhile, the display is presented for sale in the front area, facing the street. The products are meticulously packaged in branded, beautifully designed packaging, ready for purchase.
At the heart of the store, Baranowitz & Goldberg have placed a central island counter which acts as the focal point, promoting a circular flow around the store.
The island is sculpted as an abstraction of a fin in pristine white marble, gleaming like an iceberg. On its cool surface, pieces of fresh catch and ready-to-eat or cooked meals are elegantly arranged as though they are rare jewels in a display case. The horizontal and refined composition enhances the core of the store, captivating the eye and enticing the palate.
On the walls surrounding the centerpiece a bespoke clay-red drawer refrigerator, specially designed and crafted to enhance the overall experience has been fitted to house a variety of pre-packaged goods and offer a bold juxtaposition in terms of color. On the opposite wall, a set of steel shelves perfectly matching the refrigerators color showcases complementary delicatessen items. The background provides a solid and compelling presence, accentuating the island’s brightness and the treasures it holds within.
Above the entire space, a sculpted ceiling with rounded lines evokes thoughts of ships in the heart of the sea. Integrated into its lower part is soft, illuminating lighting that bathes the entire space in a gentle, ambient glow.

In 2022, award-winning architectural practice dMFK, in collaboration with architects Sher + White, embarked on the refurbishment of dMFK’s headquarters in Fitzrovia, Central London, seeking to create a visually appealing, comfortable and collaborative space for its workforce.
Julian de Metz, Director at dMFK, said: “It was crucial that the space represented us as a practice in both looks and function. For us, this was about more than just creating a new office space – it needed to have meaning, whether that’s contributing towards staff wellbeing, retention, or helping to attract the finest talent.
“Our goal was to create not only a beautiful and functional space, but also a home-from-home sanctuary that would encourage staff to spend time in over remote working.
“Our experience in developing commercial office space has taught us that one of the foundations of this concept is noise control. Without the right acoustic solutions, our 45-strong office would remain overly noisy, understandably keeping our workforce at home in quieter surroundings – a far stretch from the ‘home away from home’ environment that we wanted to create.”
“There were several challenges acoustically speaking, as the building featured an array of hard surfaces, including glass, timber and plasterboard, all of which combine to create a ‘lively acoustic environment’.
“The resultant noise levels have the potential to cause undue stress and distraction, making it difficult for staff to focus and converse. We knew we needed a solution that could ‘soak up’ sound energy, creating a softness that would promote focus and wellbeing, whilst still feeling ‘homely’.”
Seeking a solution to this issue, dMFK enlisted the help of acoustics experts, Oscar Acoustics.

Sound solution
Ben Hancock, Managing Director at Oscar Acoustics, said: “dMFK’s brief was clear – they wanted a solution that would create an acoustically balanced environment while also working with the aesthetics of the interior space.
“With 45 years’ experience in providing acoustic solutions for busy commercial office spaces, we knew that SonaSpray K-13, from our acoustic spray range, was the ideal solution for this project. It’s a premium acoustic spray that significantly reduces noise reverberation by absorbing sound instead of reflecting it.
“We applied the product in a stunning pale grey colourway, to the ceilings of the areas with the greatest potential for excess noise – the communal areas, large meeting rooms, and co-working spaces and I’m pleased to say that it blends seamlessly with the warm interior décor.”
Ben continued: Application of the spray also required careful planning. For a seamless finish, pattresses were installed at the same depth as the acoustic spray, enabling surface-mounted fixtures and fittings, to sit perfectly flush.
Green and clean
As an ISO 14001 accredited company, sustainability and the use of healthy materials in the project were key components for dMFK.
Ben commented: “Our SonaSpray range is ideally suited to sustainable, low-carbon projects as it is made from recycled materials and is M1 Classified as a Low Emitting Building Material. As such, it contributes towards many sustainable design and health certification systems including BREEAM, SKA, Living Building Challenge, and adds up to 17 points towards the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating of a project.”
“Further accreditations, such as its GREENGUARD Gold Certified compliance for Indoor Air Quality, means that the range has met some of the most demanding and comprehensive standards for minimal VOC emissions into indoor air.”
Staff safety was also a key concern on this project. Hancock commented: “We’re extremely proud of SonaSpray’s fire safety credentials. It is one of the few acoustic sprays on the market to offer fire credentials that go above and beyond Approved Document B fire requirements (Class 0 to BS476 & B-s1, d0 fire rating). It produces little to no smoke and virtually no droplets – which can assist in the safe escape of occupants should an event occur.”
A home away from home
On the finished project, De Metz commented: “We’re absolutely thrilled with how the office looks and performs, and Oscar Acoustic’s solution is integral to this. It is the single most noticeable and effective material in our office and directly contributes to day-to-day comfort and the ability to work without bothering others.”

]]>Behind a combination of concepts, briefs and materials, architectural hardware can often tie design projects together, and it’s all in the finish, explains Daniel May, Director, Consort Architectural Hardware.
When it comes to door hardware, the details matter. Between levers, pull handles, locks and hinges, correctly specified hardware can elevate any space – enhancing aesthetics, accessibility and functionality.
Typical design projects can house tens – if not hundreds – of doors and their supplementary furniture, each playing a fundamental functional role while also having a significant impact on the overall feel and flow of the building. As such, design professionals are encouraged to put careful consideration into door furniture selection, ensuring they deliver reliable, eloquent solutions that meet user requirements.
While final design decisions may depend on project, preference and budget, it always pays to get your material scheme right the first-time round. From colour matching to durability, there are a number of key components to consider when choosing door hardware finishes, and so, with that in mind, what should design teams be on the lookout for?
The finishing touch
Aesthetically speaking, more often than not, a high-quality, consistent finish is more essential to a building’s interior atmosphere than the design characteristics of the door furniture itself. Whether opting for a classic or contemporary feel, the right material scheme can completely invigorate a space while unifying a project’s overarching design theme.
Today, there is an expanding catalogue of popular hardware finishes, each differing for a range of aesthetic and practical reasons. In recent years for example, there has been an influx of dark-toned, contemporary surfaces, with matt black finishes in high demand. And while the popularity of matt black and even granite material schemes has risen recently, they may not always be suitable for certain settings and may soon be displaced by another leading style.
This revolving door of interior design trends and an ever-growing market of available finishes means the specification process is conceivably more complex than ever before. While juggling the latest styles, modern design teams must also be mindful of the disparity in quality between different suppliers, material grades and price points. At surface level, different manufacturers may offer the same styles and material schemes, but upon delivery, each may vary in colour shades, characteristics and overall consistency. Consequently, this can leave projects suffering from discord in their design, with end-users later requiring replacements or full redesigns to match their original plans.
Colour matching carries even more weight when meeting the needs of visually impaired users, for example. Under the Equality Act 2010, it’s stated all new and refurbished public buildings must offer equal access to all users, ensuring safe entry and passage through a building regardless of disability, age of gender. Where only 5% of people that are blind can’t see anything at all, most have limited colour vision and perception of light and shade, and for this, an adequate level of visual contrast between building surfaces and their surrounding areas is mandatory.
With this, design professionals must be conscious of Light Reflectance Values (LRV). LRV is understood as the universal scale used in architecture and interior design and is a way of measuring the amount of visible and usable light that is reflected from a surface when illuminated by a light source. In essence, it is important to assess the contrast between the door facings and ironmongery throughout specification, with standards recommending an LRV contrast of at least 30 points in order to comply with BS 8300-2:2018.
Consistent by design
The purpose of a consistent finish runs deeper than aesthetics alone. Together with its design benefits, a high-quality, durable material scheme can add value to a project by offering high wear and abrasion resistance, improving the overall usability of door furniture throughout a building’s lifecycle.
Here, the specification of material schemes is often determined by project type and the location of the door itself. Stainless steel finishes for example, while offering clean aesthetics, are designed to add value in kitchen and bathroom spaces by offering naturally high resistance to moisture corrosion. On the other hand, stainless steel can often succumb to the harsh exposure of sunlight and as such, its use should generally be avoided in outside environments.
Similarly, a high-grade physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is also naturally corrosion resistant, but in addition, it offers users an extremely scratch resistant surface – making it suitable for high traffic environments such as hospitals and schools. With this in mind, design professionals must seek the most applicable material scheme throughout their project, opting for higher grades of materials where necessary. And where a single manufacturer may offer a continuous range of finishes of the same quality, the use of multiple suppliers can truly have the adverse effect.
Comparably, low-cost substitutes are unlikely to match the reliability that premium finishes can offer. Much like users expect the mechanisms of door hardware to last throughout a building’s lifecycle, it is essential for material schemes stand the test of time too. Where ‘natural living’ finishes (such as unlacquered bronze and brass) are purposefully designed to react to the external environment and develop over time with the building, low-quality finishes may begin to fade unintentionally. Protective coatings (such as PVD or lacquered finishes) are designed to retain their quality regardless of the environment in which they’re installed. Even in high traffic areas, durable designs are more likely to retain their operational benefits over time, while also enduring decorative trends and leaving interiors intact for years to come.
Inherently, decision makers are urged to chase quality above trends and low-cost substitutes. Where door hardware finishes are concerned, durability and cohesion are key in offering longer-lasting benefits and design professionals must look to work closely with trusted manufacturers and supply chains to ensure their choices match expectations. Because, while styles change and trends come and go, the basis for a high quality, consistent finish lies within the manufacturing process. After all, the details are always in the design.

For the design team of Taylor Howes working with CAW Ventures, the challenge has been to create interiors that paid homage to the innovation, history and drama of the location, where the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and the Sex Pistols all hung out.
The team had to bring cohesion across 55 rooms and apartments over 16 buildings, some of which are listed. Thus, four design narratives across 11 base build designs were conceived to reflect the heritage and rebellion of the properties and their surroundings.

To achieve the industrial rawness that is the essence of the Loft build design, Armourcoat’s Concrete Effect panels were specified. The deconstructed look and tactile surface of the panels achieves the unfinished, textured appearance of shuttered concrete in an easy to install, lightweight format.
The Concrete Effect panels bring a distinctive industrial style to the interior, with their inclusion of distressed effects and shutter markings. They form part of Armourcoat’s range of three-dimensional castings, alongside stone effect, hand-applied and sculptured artwork cast panels.

Lottie Suckling, Senior Interior Designer at Taylor Howes says, “It was important for us in the Loft units to define and highlight the architectural elements in the space, from exposed listed brickwork to steel beams in the ceilings. Instead of covering up, we wanted to highlight what we had. The concrete panels really helped to compliment the architecture and retain each building’s heritage status.
“You wouldn’t be able to tell that these weren’t concrete! The Armourcoat Concrete Effect panels look the real deal, from the authentic divots to the tactile nature and distressed effects of the shutter markings. Installed, they help embrace the characteristics of the building and its materials. The Concrete Effect panels blend beautifully with the Loft scheme.”

Carrie Wicks, Director at Chateau Denmark adds, “Chateau Denmark is ultimately about being bold and fierce- and of course materials play an important role in conveying that sentiment. For a number of our rooms and apartments, the Armourcoat Concrete Effect panels have contributed to a rugged rawness, establishing a unique aesthetic that helps bring together an industrial and utilitarian feel.”

Because acoustic design in the built environment can be complex it often is lower down in planning priorities. Consequently, there’s a risk that the best, most appropriate materials are not used, affecting long-term health and wellbeing of occupants for generations to come. Through Quiet Mark’s CPD, best practice acoustic design is upheld and not overlooked in the built environment at the outset of each project, by inspiring the next generation of designers to understand how sound impacts human health and by providing the free resource of third party verified Quiet Mark certified products.

]]>Streamlined automatic access for spa guests.
At the new £4.3m luxury spa, Breedon Priory in Derbyshire, access specialist TORMAX was contracted by Smart Aluminium Ltd to install their sophisticated bi-parting automatic sliding door system to the rear of the building, giving guests effortless access out onto a well-appointed sundeck.
Delivering an unobtrusive solution, TORMAX recommended their Windrive 2201 door operator. Housed in a neat casing measuring just 142mm x 100mm, the discreet Windrive blends seamlessly with the contemporary yet sumptuous interior décor of the spa.
“It is always great to be involved in a high-end project such as The Spa at Breedon Priory,” comments Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX. “The view out through the set of double automatic doors to the outdoor terrace and tranquility gardens will be an obvious enticement to spa guests, who would expect nothing less than for the doors to slide soundlessly open as they approach.”
In addition to treatment rooms, a restaurant and small shop the 1,344m² high-end spa also includes a wellbeing suite with thermal cabins, relaxation lounges, an indoor vitality pool, ice fountain and experience showers, plus two beautiful outdoor infinity pools. Phase II of the development will include the addition of eight luxury holiday lodges for overnight stays.
Guests are encouraged to make use of the heated outdoor pool all year round, but it is essential that the ambient temperature inside the spa is maintained, keeping guests warm and comfortable. Helping reduce heat-loss from the building, simple two-key programming of the TORMAX operator allows staff to easily change the speed at which the automatic doors open and close, efficiently helping to keep the warm air in on chillier days.
“The Windrive 2201 was designed at the TORMAX head offices in Switzerland and has been installed in countless demanding locations worldwide,” confirms Roberts. “Even though it is such a compact size it is still incredibly powerful, delivering reliable operation for double doors weighing up to 100kg per leaf or driving single-leaf doors of up to 120kg.”

]]>Amazon Edinburgh specifies Style South for flexible space.
With a steadily expanding workforce of 200+ highly skilled software engineers, space is at a premium at Amazon’s development centre in Edinburgh. Working with architect, Hassell, and contractor, Clark Contracts, Style was specified to deliver a partitioning solution that would enable the open-plan conference and training room to be segregated into smaller rooms, as required.
Installing two Dorma Hüppe Variflex moveable walls either side of a central column, the large area can now be quickly split into two individual rooms.
With an incredible 59db Acoustic rating, this is almost an entirely sound-proofed solution, which means there is no disturbance from events taking place either side of the wall. The fabric wrapped Kvadrat Lloyd finish is the perfect complement to the contemporary interior décor.
“This easy to manoeuvre, manual moveable wall is the ideal solution when you want to quickly sub-divide space and turn one room into two,” said David Louden, Style’s director for Scotland.
“The Variflex panels are manufactured separately to the frame, making it cost-effective to replace a single panel lining if damage occurs, or to update all the panels when the room is re-decorated in the future.
“Further contributing to a low carbon footprint, the Variflex moveable wall has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804, making it a highly sustainable system.”
Style has also been commissioned to provide the Amazon development centre with a programme of planned servicing and maintenance, helping ensure an extended working life for the moveable walls.
“A regular check-up ensures continued smooth operation, compliance with Health and Safety Legislation, and for acoustic moveable walls, it also ensures its acoustic integrity remains intact,” said Louden.
“Regular servicing also minimises the chance of any minor issue escalating into a more expensive repair later down the line. We have examples of well-serviced moveable walls lasting up to 25 years.”
Amazon’s development centre in Edinburgh is responsible for devising and growing innovations for Amazon around the world with teams of developers, designers and leaders running major parts of Amazon’s business, technology and operations.

]]>Martyn Horne, Director of Product Marketing, Vectorworks, discusses the importance of effectively utilising data for design, supported by the latest iteration of their workflow software Vectorworks 2024.
As an architect or interior designer, if you’re new to design software, you may feel like you have data coming out of your ears. Or worse, you may not even realise how helpful this data can be. Materials, object information, embodied carbon levels, and other forms of data aren’t a burden — they’re empowering information you can use to make informed design decisions and create something the world’s never seen before.
Utilising data effectively can result in remarkable designs and enhance productivity, consistency, accuracy, and communication with colleagues and collaborators. Many today argue that the successful use of data is just as important as the aesthetics of your design.
So, what’s the key to harnessing this robust data? Finding an equally powerful software solution that caters to your specific needs and makes incorporating and using data in meaningful ways more straightforward and effective. That’s precisely what you’ll get with the recently launched Vectorworks 2024 – the latest iteration of Vectorworks’ software chock full of new features and tools focused on providing you with a data difference.
Data organisation is critical; that’s why the newly added Excel Referencing and Project Sharing+ features in Vectorworks 2024 are so significant. With Excel referencing capabilities, you’ll experience better connectivity to external project data stored in Excel files. You can even opt for automatic updates to linked referenced files, reducing manual steps and the risk of user input errors. Vectorworks’ multi-user environment that allows you to create a project file and share it with others for easy collaboration, Project Sharing, has also been rebuilt to ensure your project data and geometry are always current. Project Sharing+ tracks every change made in a project file every time, giving you one less thing to check in your quality assurance process and substantially improving reliability regardless of your team or project size.
Data is also in the (design) details. Vectorworks 2024 delivers even more opportunities to assign, evaluate, and employ data in almost every facet of your design. New parametric tools for cabinets bring you the flexibility and accuracy you need to create more custom configurations in your designs while allowing you to create more realistic visualisations and precise documentation. The Railing tool also supports guardrails, handrails, and configurations designed to help you meet building code and accessibility standards. New materials within Door and Window objects ensure additional accuracy and consistency in your designs. These updates allow you to set 3D for better visuals but also provide data for better material costs and embodied carbon calculations.
Additionally, if you incorporate building information modelling (BIM) into your project workflows, Vectorworks 2024 fully meets international standards for openBIM. buildingSMART International’s (bSI) Software Certification Program recently validated that Vectorworks IFC4 import has been quality-tested against bSI’s robust benchmarks, ensuring that you will consistently share the highest quality IFC models with other BIM software products so that you can remain confident in the accuracy and credibility of your work.
While incorporating data into your design workflows can sometimes feel overwhelming, having the right tools to employ this information can indeed be empowering and allow you to take your designs to an entirely different level.
