The project started with an analysis of violin making and violin restoration, linking the obsession for perfection this craft has with that of an architect.

Following this, a series of interpretative drawings examined the geometry of violins and other musical instruments. These drawings informed the final design: a small baldachin for a solitary architect to work and live in, which can be relocated to any large and disused structure.

The main building project transforms the ritualistic behaviours of the single architect into a collective office, workshop, and home for a seven-person architectural practice. The building is situated in a quasi-religious structure that sits upon the ruins of Lesnes monastery in Erith, South East London, near Dartford.

A series of atmospheric drawings and models depict the design proposals in plan and section, and imagine the collective architectural practice living and working inside a park that is full of dogwalkers and other everyday activities.
