Trajan House, Oxford University

Trajan House was designed as a head office to be inhabited by three charitable organisations dedicated to studying and battling existential threats. It is now a centre full of dynamic energy which thrums with the sound of productivity. This was a challenging but fascinating project.

The inspiration came from the elements themselves. References to water in all its forms can be found in the droplet patterns on the walls, cloud formation on the floorings and on the 'river' mirror ceiling at reception.
