As a hybrid of typologies, Alexander House challenges preconceptions of work and home through an intriguing lens. For Alexander &CO., it is a place that encourages creation and innovation within an experimental live/work framework.

Visually in conversation with its neighbours, Alexander House presents as a typical Victorian-era terrace, sympathetically restored and reinvented as its own unique offering. Alexander &CO. Principal and Founder Jeremy Bull and Marketing Director Tess Glasson reside in the adjoining Victorian terrace with their young family, working and living fluidly between the two houses. Clients, family members, friends, guests, collaborators and creatives are all welcome, inspiring a sense of community.

In response to the changing perceptions of the workplace, the spaces of Alexander House oscillate between being functional and immersive. There’s a traditional studio space, a large kitchen and a dining area opening onto a sun-drenched courtyard, as well as intimate nooks for reading and working.

Alexander House is layered in materiality and experience, with reclaimed timber, rammed earth bricks, concrete, polished plaster, steel, stone and more connecting the various spaces.

Alexander House is akin to an experimental laboratory where work is defined by conversation and collaboration, and friends, guests and creatives are all welcome.What’s more, the architecture itself became the subject of environmental exploration with heat mitigating devices and cross ventilation seamlessly incorporated into the design. A west-facing glass block wall section allows for light without the harsh heat, and an externally insulated wall system creates a stable internal ambient temperature, ensuring ease and comfort.
