Studio culture: why how we work matters
DO+CO has grown slowly and deliberately, from a small team into a practice where everyone is encouraged to contribute, develop their skills and have a voice in how the studio evolves. For Jenny, that means creating a culture where people are treated as individuals rather than expected to fit a particular mould.

5 questions clients ask before starting a home project
Starting a home project often comes with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Most of our clients are doing this for the first and probably only time, so the questions tend to be very similar.

How we made Southfields
When people see the finished photographs of our latest project in Southfields, it’s easy to assume the project arrived fully formed. Calm spaces. Carefully balanced materials. A confident presence on the street.
In reality, the finished home is the result of a long, considered process shaped by listening, testing ideas, responding to constraints, and knowing when to simplify.
This is how we made Southfields.
