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.

Exterior storefront view by STAC Architecture featuring a gridded metal-frame window, black fabric awning, distressed brick, and white glazed lower brick.

A storefront facade precedent by STAC Architecture demonstrating rich material juxtaposition between distressed red brick, white glazed tile, textured glazing, and a crisp black metal awning.

What we like about this project
Mixed textured and patterned glass panels within the grid selectively obscure parts of the interior view while letting warm light bleed through.

Geometry
Symmetrical composition centered on a large multi-pane gridded window set within a textured brick facade and a lower white tiled wainscot.
Facade system
Metal-framed multi-pane storefront glazing with wall-mounted cantilevered fabric awning over layered masonry.
Structural guess
Load-bearing masonry wall with steel lintels supporting storefront openings.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled retail or hospitality shopfront facade.
Lighting
Warm interior pendant and ambient lighting glowing outwards, contrasting with cool external daylight reflecting off the glass and awning.
Atmosphere
Inviting, tactile, and warm, contrasting robust exterior materials with a glowing interior.
Environmental context
Urban commercial storefront setting with weathered masonry context.
Spatial experience
The deep black metal awning and textured glass create a framed threshold between the bustling street and the warm, layered interior.
Composition rhythm
Balanced tripartite horizontal division with lower white tile, central gridded opening with awning, and upper digital or textured signage band.
