STAC Architecture

Based in London, UK, STAC Architecture defines its commercial and hospitality portfolio through expressive overhead gestures—such as continuous red sculptural ribbons that articulate street-level storefronts—and intricate, radially patterned wood ceilings set beneath central skylights. This body of work serves as a precise reference when specifying fluid canopy systems to unify retail frontages or detailing geometric ceiling paneling around overhead daylit apertures.

Interior view of a curved dining lounge featuring geometric wood-paneled ceilings, custom pendant lights, and leather booths by STAC Architecture.

Geometry
Symmetrical, curved room layout featuring a central circular skylight and radiating timber beams, framed by perimeter wrap-around ribbon windows and tiered seating arrangements.
Facade system
Continuous horizontal ribbon glazing wrapping the curved exterior perimeter.
Structural guess
Exposed steel or concrete columns supporting a curved floorplate or roof slab above.
Spatial scale
Single-story hospitality lounge scaled for intimate group and individual dining.
Lighting
Layered lighting combining diffused natural light from the overhead central skylight and continuous ribbon windows with warm accent glow from wooden pendant fixtures and wall sconces.
Atmosphere
Cozy, moody, and intricately detailed with warm wood tones and balanced artificial and natural lighting.
Environmental context
Interior hospitality venue overlooking a low-rise urban streetscape visible through continuous perimeter glazing.
Spatial experience
A low-slung, intimate dining space centered around an expansive curved banquette arrangement beneath an intricate overhead starburst wood pattern.
Composition rhythm
Radial symmetry anchored by the central skylight, repeating pendant clusters, and evenly spaced column bays.
