I had a return visit to the lovely Gilbert Heritage building in Finsbury Square to photograph another floor completed by AET. Their underfloor air conditioning had been installed, and it was good to get a CAT B fit-out to photograph for them, showing their system in place.
A lovely shoot for Knotel last week at 33 Charlotte Street in London’s West End. I love visiting this part of London, and luckily it was a lovely sunny day, perfect for a quick coffee from the Japanese Bakery in Hanway Street. Incidentally, Bradley’s Spanish Bar, also down Hanway Street, is a great bar with a juke box! I shot the 3rd floor, which is beautifully designed by the Knotel team and ready for a company to move straight in. Some of the original features of the building, like concrete pillars and steel beams, have been left exposed, which adds to the overall character of the space.
Delighted to be able to share some images from the annual AET shooting day at Holland and Holland. This event has grown year on year and this one was the biggest yet.
I had a wonderful evening shooting AET’s very first edition of She Builds: Women Shaping Space. The event was dedicated to the amazing women who are shaping the property and construction industry. It was a night to connect and celebrate each other in a very male-dominated industry.
Held at the Pavilion Club’s terrace in Knightsbridge, champagne flowed, great music played, and the evening was a huge success.
I shot a Cat A office fitout last week for AET near Bank Station in London. Cat A fitouts are usually fairly straightforward to shoot. The goal when shooting for AET specifically is to show the space with their products in situ and how they benefit the space they are in. By freeing up ceiling space, which is where traditional air conditioning ducting would sit, AET provide underfloor air conditioning, which has a massive impact on the overall design and what is possible when you can free up so much ceiling space. The shots should show the ceiling, and the height from floor to ceiling, where possible, also the CAM units and the grills themselves, which are level with the floor.
To build a case study, it is always important to show any good views from the offices and in London, there are often fabulous views of famous landmarks. In this case, the offices are opposite the Bank of England, and the upper terrace shows views beyond the Bank of England to the City of London. The reception area is also essential to show, along with communal areas and the main entrance, to give an overall feel of the building, along with external shots of the building and where it sits in the surroundings.
