paper mill studio.
This project involved the refurbishment, extension and conversion of a redundant paper mill warehouse to form a cutting-edge photography studio and ancillary workspaces in North London.
​
James, working on behalf of Gresford Architects, oversaw design and construction in the role of Project Architect. Planning permission was successfully attained for a contemporary extension incorporating zinc cladding and reglit glazing panels, specifically designed to contrast with the traditional Victorian architecture.
​
As a photographer’s studio, technical design saw the incorporation of complex mechanical and electrical solutions for specific environmental requirements. James also worked directly with the building owner and specialist sub-contractors to adapt and reuse vintage appliances and fittings in the architecture of the space.
