C3M studio were invited in February 2020 to introduce the two company directors, and present our residential portfolio, to private clients, the new owners of Farmside, a 1930’s large detached ‘Arts and Crafts’ style property
062020 // Farmside // BIG RIBA board : Racing green hoarding : Hawthorne Road.
Immediately, when visiting the site for the first time, we realised that this beautiful 1930s home was carved up and very much compromised by 90 years of domestic DIY, extension, amendments & perhaps ‘evolution’.
We realised immediately a complete restoration and reconfiguration was required to realise the full potential and celebrate the existing historic beauty within the building.
Analysing the old planning and building control submissions, leading to opening up areas of the building for explory works, during the early stages during the concept & feasibility process we became aware the house had been chopped and changed many, many times during its lifetime.
We progressed enthusiastically during lock down 01, with twice weekly on line zoom’ design and specification reviews. Then coming out of lock down 1, taking our clients on specification site visits, to firm up on the detail.
Working with fantastic clients, this made the lock down change to ‘normal’ processes of concept, feasibility and design and an absolute pleasure.

C3M Studio are appointed as Architects, Project Managers and Contract Administrators for the rapid fit out works at 18 Hanway Street, W1T. This is for SOHO Housing, and is envisaged as the new HUB’ and HQ.
Our introduction to this forward thinking client was on a rainy day in January 2020, after presenting our team to act as Architects, Project Managers & Contract Administrators for the works. We were notified of this success of our appointment in March 2020, just prior to lock down 1.
Throughout 2020, and now in in the first quarter of 2021, C3M studio have had the pleasure of crafting through options, presenting the CV19 spatial social distancing considerations, reviewing the flexible working and evolving our passion and concepts of ‘wellbeing in the workplace’.
The 2020 impact of ‘new normal’ has enhanced the feasibility and design process to focus on the challenges set by the impact of the CV19 pandemic. This new normal has been instrumental in the design and procurement of the new ‘SOHO Housing Hub’.
We submitted our planning and conservation area application in June 2020, for the minor amendments to the main elevation. Full consent was granted in September 2020.
SOHO Housing Hub’: A workplace designed and evolved through positive change under challenging times.
Upon writing: we are currently half way through the project works, with a projected completion and hand over at the end of March 2021.
We have had the pleasure of working with principal contractor #SCOTTOSBORN who have been refreshing in the ‘can do’ rapid turn around to any client or consultant requests.
