Vision
In Richmond, the railway sets the pace. We saw an opportunity to create a new rhythm for the site, a building that could stand in quiet response to all that urban momentum. Our vision for Studio 33 was a dynamic interplay of forms: a heritage podium holding fast to the past, with two distinct volumes rising to meet a forward-looking future.
Solution
A heritage podium anchors the building to its past. Above, we created two distinct volumes. We clad one in red brick, honouring the site's history, and the other in crisp glazing, reflecting the sky. This balance holds inside, too. Raw finishes meet warm light to create calm, open, and useful spaces for the people who inhabit them.
This is the kind of thinking we bring to every project. Get in touch and let’s talk about what you’re planning.
