“The site of Maryland House has had difficulty obtaining planning since 2002, but in 2016 Remi Connolly-Taylor and the Studio took on the challenge as a development scheme. When Remi returned from living in New York City, she noticed the housing market didn’t reflect her needs as a young business-owner.
Project Name: Maryland House
Studio Name: REMI.C.T Studio
She wanted a space that allowed for ample natural light and room to work in a flexible studio. The proposal provides a bold bookend to the terraced street. By utilising London stocks related to surrounding dwellings, the Studio was able to maintain the language and form of the area without compromising the quality of light to the adjacent structures.
The house combines work and living, addressing the contemporary needs of a new generation of creatives based in East London. A spacious basement studio flooded with light from intricate and carefully considered design provides the ideal space for artists and creatives to work and live.
Remi, a native East Londoner, brings a genuine understanding and appreciation of the area to the design. She believes that architects and developers have a responsibility to be taking part in all elements of the discussion by creating beautiful, quality housing for generations to come.”
