Fathom Architects

Based in London, Fathom Architects designs mixed-use urban buildings and civic arcades through a careful dialogue between modern glazed facades and historic masonry, defined by organic roof profiles, precise setback rhythms, and expressive overhead color datums. This portfolio offers sharp visual precedents when integrating vertical louver assemblies above glass lines, negotiating roofline geometry against adjacent heritage contexts, or designing active ground-floor frontages that open into public green space.

Interior view through a black steel doorway into a deep lounge with exposed brick walls, deep red ceiling, and globe chandeliers by Fathom Architects.

The Waterman

An interior hospitality precedent showing how heavy industrial steel portals and exposed brick can be paired with saturated crimson ceilings and repeating globe fixtures to structure a deep enfilade.

What we like about this project
The bright crimson ceiling and exposed ductwork create an intense overhead color datum that unifies the deep industrial space.

Geometry
Symmetrical enfilade view framed by a heavy steel structural portal looking down a deep, long room with repeating transverse portals.
Structural guess
Heavy industrial steel framing with exposed masonry walls.
Spatial scale
Generous ceiling height with multi-bay depth scaled for public or hospitality gathering.
Lighting
Interior artificial light from multi-globe chandeliers combined with soft daylight washing in from side windows.
Atmosphere
Warm, theatrical, and layered, contrasting raw masonry with saturated color.
Environmental context
Urban interior space with heavy industrial heritage fabric.
Spatial experience
The deep perspective sequence draws the eye from a foreground dining setup through multiple nested rooms into a distant sunlit termination.
Composition rhythm
Repeating black steel portal frames create a receding rhythm that emphasizes depth.
