nimtim's Cork House features as one of today's staff picks on the Archello website. Providing a little bit of colour to brighten everyone's day.

It’s during times like these that it’s so important to hear kind words, especially from clients about our work:

‘As we move into crazy unprecedented times, indoors rather than out and about in the spring sun, we keep catching ourselves...How incredibly lucky are we to be IN our home, got there just in time, in a space that is beautiful and efficient. The kids in separate rooms, giving them the headspace and privacy they'll so desperately need over the next months. Another huge thank you to you guys who made it happen. Really. Thank you. Again and again.’ .

During these crazy times it may be difficult to start doing work to your home. Another one of our tips for working from home is to think about spaces differently. Most of our clients look for a sense of open-ness and connection between the spaces in their homes. Can one space be flexible and potentially used for multiple activities at different times in the day/ week? Can you create more definition and articulation of the different functions within a single space? We find sitting down and having a chat with all the family can be incredibly helpful to work out how the space can work for everyone. Here’s some photos of our Pitch Perfect project where we converted the existing kitchen at the front of the house into a flexible space; potentially a kids snug/guest bedroom/home office.

Coming soon - we are looking at ways we can offer help and advice to those of you that need it remotely. Watch this space!

We are in unprecedented times and our thoughts are with our clients, friends and collaborators. We have set up remote working for the studio and it will be business as usual because we have to be. Being a small business we are extremely worried for the future but we are taking it day by day. Watch this space for tips on working from home, making the best of the space you have and working with locally supplied materials. Support your local independent businesses as we need it now more than ever. nimtim’s mission still remains to make architecture that is a celebration of colour, material and personality. We always try to bring joy to everyday life and this feels as important to us as ever. Let’s take care of each other.

Our new 'Garden Kitchen' project for a proposed side and rear extension has just been Approved by Lewisham Council.

In Forest Gate our 'Tin Tin' project converts two flats into a single dwelling as well as proposing a new side and rear extension and loft conversion which has been Approved by Newham Council.

Looking forward to working on the next stages.
