WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOUR ENDURING CREATIVE INFLUENCES?

Stephen Jolson: I have always been inspired by the work of Italian architect Carlo Scarpa, with projects that celebrate form, materiality and texture, and that engage with context, landscape and a sense of place.

DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN?

SJ: Our projects are considered and strive to establish a sense of place that embodies our client’s brief. Sculptural and refined, our designs are enduring. Mat Wright: Our architecture and interiors are place markers and storytellers. Our interiors speak to our client’s history and forge new ambitions. We look to engage with nature’s elements, the landscape, views, light and air to create spaces that inspire users and enhance wellbeing.
