Caseyfierro Architects is a practice established in 2006 and located in Dartmouth Park, North London. Both partners have gained expertise in the design and delivery of significant large scale projects within the UK. Our design methodology explores projects from both macro and micro scales developing solutions from the profound understanding of those issues that constrain or otherwise provide potential, using these to advantage in the final proposition. The resulting architecture is created from the unique context rather than any particular house style.

The practice has commissions designing buildings in both urban and rural settings within the UK for clients in the public sector, housing, entertainment, commercial, church and arts as well as for private individuals. The range of projects encompasses private houses to 300 hectare urban master planning concepts.

We believe that strong communication is vital in the implementation of any design project. Our aim is to explore all design potentials using all available techniques to represent ideas. We like working in a flexible way using models, animation and conceptual drawings to do so. This often leads to a good dialogue with clients at an early stage of every project.

Remodelling and extension of a large light industrial unit to create one of the largest studio and private gallery spaces in London.

The first space you encounter upon entering the building is the ground floor studio. This will be an ‘as-found’ space that retains it’s light industrial character and rough material qualities.

The second of the three new gallery spaces created will be a pristine white painters studio with baffled rooflights and a polished concrete floor.

Finally, at the rear of the building, the removal of a large section of the first floor and the introduction of expansive north facing clerestory windows will create a new double height show space of approx 8 Meters.

The exterior of the building will be subject to a ‘little touch’ renovation to retain it’s industrial character but with the introduction of a few large glazed elements that will suggest it’s new use. Much of the external clutter will be removed and a few unneeded windows carefully bricked up to create a tough and simple background to the new very modern, delicate interventions.

The new extension to the rear will create a new plant room and garage. The new brick flue mimics the size and scale of an existing chimney stack on Madrigal Lane while the new brick extension itself completes the corner of the site.

Aberfeldy New VillageMasterplan

The red buildings in the above model show the existing ones thawt are supposed to be demolished whereas the blue ones below are our new proposals.

The proposal will, reorganise, part redevelop and redefine a New Aberfeldy Village Centre. The work will involve the refurbishment of the best, existing blocks together with the redevelopment of those buildings in the worst state of disrepair.

A range of new homes will be designed to introduce a more diverse tenure mix. An increase in residential density will help to sustain the improved retail offer and reinforce community facilities. Dispersed, but complementary uses, such as the health and community centres and retail units will be relocated and, where appropriate, combined into ‘clusters’ of new buildings to provide a more sustainable and improved service to local residents.

New, more convenient and safe access into and out of the area will be introduced with new crossings and bridges sited on better defined routes. The problematic servicing arrangements will be dealt with. Open space and children’s’ play areas will be reorganised and relocated to provide better quality and more usable space.

The overall objective is to create a new, high quality centre providing a vibrant focus and a catalyst to stimulate investment and momentum for the wider regeneration of this part of Poplar Riverside.

2006-2007£ 500,0000.3 hectaresLondon E2Jasper Morrison Ltd.

Located in Shoreditch a redundant brick workshop building was refurbished and transformed into Jasper Morrison’s design office and studio. The site was accessible via a narrow Dickensian alley originally connecting a terrace of brick housing on whose party walls the present steel workshop and brick construction was built.

The collaboration with Jasper led to a sensitive response to the conservation area context. Minimal interventions matched the atmosphere of the built fabric of the existing building. A portion of the existing building interior was sacrificed to make a new city courtyard to provide another type of space.

The refurbished building retained the sense of place of the original workshop by specifying rude materials of unfinished rough sawn oak and industrial natural asphalt tiles and where possible the existing structure exposed.

Studio on the first floor. The challenge was to create a room flooded with light that at the same time assures the resident’s privacy.

As a designer dealing with precise shades of colour you always depend

on daylight. Therefore we introduced this sober space to evaluate and photograph the designer’s work.

A modest design of the interior leaves space for atmospheric furniture.

Poplar Riverside Masterplan

The complete plan for Reshaping Poplar Riverside is still being developed and requires refinement at a level of detail. Its proposals will introduce structural change where necessary and this will take some time to implement possibly the next 20 to 25 years. However, there are a significant number of schemes ready to start now.

The client has decided on some priorities following an investigation of the quality of the housing stock and associated buildings; an appraisal of current community facilities and services, and a critical assessment of the quality of the public realm and layout. Each site has been individually tested in terms of redevelopment potential, decanting requirements and cost/value efficiencies. Taken together they represent a considerable restructuring of this location, however the scheme can be readily broken down into achievable projects. A major problem for Brownfield is the

physical barrier to movement caused by the A12 major road to the east. This severely restricts pedestrian access into and out of the area towards the future Lower Lea Valley Park isolating its community and hindering the area’s growth and regeneration.

There are some residential blocks which would be best demolished to make way for new development and help achieve a necessary reorganisation in the layout of the area.

The regeneration strategy provides the opportunity to improve existing estate

roads transforming from car centric spaces by introducing more trees, traffic calming and planting so the

spaces between the existing housing buildings are resident friendly.

Chrisp Street is located a short distance to the north of Canary Wharf which is developing beyond the civil engineering barriers of Aspen Way and DLR tracks towards this part of London.

The conceptual masterplan explored a number of strategies provoking understanding about how the site could be developed. The site is physically disconnected from its neighbouring areas. The concepts showed by scale of development the established market area could once more become a destination for Eastenders and become reconnected meaningfully to the surrounding changing area.

The client through this positioning work had manifested the potential for this part of Poplar to developer partners.

In use since December 2007 Langdon Park DLR station shows how well a newly built station works and is accepted by the people. It is an inspiring example in order to restructure and redesign All Saints Station as well.

Being in walking distance to Canary Wharf our proposed new Chrisp Street would become a magnet for the local area.

Chrisp Street with its exposed position and its traditional market has the potential to become one of the most vibrant places in Poplar.

Bromley by Bow Masterplan

The client has already invested a considerable effort in preparing scheme options for sites and has engaged with the local community in detailed consultation.

Development opportunities on land not in Poplar HARCA’s ownership have also been considered, principally to ensure the final result is properly coordinated and complementary.

The aim of the Stroudley Walk project is to create a vibrant new housing

quarter with a dense urban structure organized around the re-introduction

of the original street patterns of the historically important center of Bow

Bromley.

The re-opening of Stroudley Walk for traffic will provide significant improvements to connectivity north south in Bow Bromley and allow potential additional bus routing to occur.

Located in Rochester Square Conservation Area, Camden Town this project resolved the clients wish to extend a family house whilst respecting a Mulberry tree in the garden. The tree is one of the oldest specimens in the capital dating from the seventeenth century with a preservation status. Care was taken to restrict foundation intrusion and disturbance to maintain a healthy environment for continuing wellbeing of the tree.

The interior of the house had been extensively remodelled in the 1960’s.

This study explored possibilities of selective demolition of poorly constructed housing stock providing potential for a new green amenity space strategy of “Green link” spaces and significant new green spaces with mixed tenure housing development. The study explored how needed public realm improvements on Devons Road could be instigated and what scale of demolition over a twelve year period could be considered to achieve this aim.

Poplar is an area of deprivation. Reshaping Poplar proposed the ‘Making of Places’ creating sustainable communities with new social facilities and amenity spaces.

Reshaping Poplar offered a bold approach to bring forward the entire transformation of rundown estates in this part of London through a mixture of refurbishment and renewal. It considers the integrated provision of new and improved education and health facilities. It addresses the introduction of new open space, leisure and community facilities, and recommends additional infrastructure that will better serve and reconnect communities.

Located in the centre of an English Country Estate the clients brief was a contemporary villa for family house of 500 square meters.

The site is located in a quite secluded agricultural landscape in Hampshire and on the brow of a gentle sloping hill. The immediate decision was to decide on the extent and shape of the site for the house and garden enclosure once the existing cottage on the site was demolished.

The proposed land shaping enclosure for the garden drew inspiration from 17th Century landscape ideas of Ha Ha’s spatially connected fields on all sides to the 2 hectare garden and the pre Roman hill forts typical in the area.

The villa itself was on a single floor with accommodation distributed between garden courtyards of differing garden atmospheres. The house is an extension of the new garden.

Landscape archeology provides precedent for a new site enclosure. Within the enclosure the trees are retained and absorbed into the new garden design providing screening to the north east and the road. These trees will help reducing the overall impact of the future project.

We like the idea of creating a ha ha not only for its practical benefits of rabbit control but its appropriateness to historical landscape precedent.
