HF Studio

Based in London, HF Studio defines its residential work through a sharp contrast between weathered historic brickwork and razor-thin black steel glazing, quietly integrating precise modern interventions into classical plaster interiors. This portfolio provides a focused reference when detailing contemporary glass extensions against aged structural masonry or concealing discreet mechanical services within period ceiling moldings.
