The Architects Who Allow Buildings To Talk

 

Such an unusual approach in architecture, but one as a fellow creative I must say really appeals. Having total control from start to finish can be a luxury in the design world but architects Chan & Eayrs ensure just that. Like their latest project in a converted former shoe factory in Shoreditch, London. First they find the site and then live - sometimes camp - in it a while. Next they strip it back to the integrity of the building and re-imagine the space. One project at a time, Chan & Eayrs can really understand the light of the place, how the space is best used and then go far and wide to find just the right materials, objects and furniture to craft a truly unique home. Then the project is sold for a fare penny, this one named the Beldi, at £3,200,00.

The Beldi is a breath of fresh air from the madness of London just below. Soft natural wood accompanies calming green plastered walls and handmade tiles. Light and airy, the space feels like it might have always existed. Not polished and new but loved and lived in, as if the building feels finally understood.
