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.
