Architecture and interiors

The Times Eureka Garden and Pavilion was undertaken by NEX and landscape gardener, Marcus Barnett. It was commissioned by The Times Newspaper in association with Kew Gardens for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2011. The design approach was inspired by the cellular structure of plants and processes of plant growth and formation. The pavilion sits on a timber raft constructed from spruce beams and the walls and roof are clad with recycled plastic ‘cells’.

Originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and constructed in 1933, Battersea Power Station was eventually closed down due to pollution and a shift in national policy in power generation in 1983. 28 years later, the Rafael Vinoly-designed masterplan was approved. Construction is scheduled to commence in 2012. We decided to capture the power station in all its glory for the final time.

We were asked to produce fine art photography for the walls of an apartment which was interior designed by Peter G. Sheehan. Given the fortunate fact that the apartment overlooked the Royal Albert Hall, this became our chosen subject.

Designed by HGP Architects, Spinnaker Tower is the tallest accessible structure in the UK, outside of London, standing at 170 metres. The design represents a billowing spinnaker sail constructed as two large white steel arcs. The triple observation deck at the top, being the largest glass floor in Europe, offers visitors 320 degree views.

Architect, Daniel Libeskind, designed Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2001, Eighteen Turns. With references to an origami figure, Eighteen Turns was created from sheer metallic planes assembled in a dynamic sequence.

Designed by Foster + Partners, we shot the British Museum’s Great Court. The canopy was designed and installed by computer. It’s glass and steel roof was constructed out of 3,312 panes of glass, no two which are the same.
