West Architecture. Waind Gohil Architects. Simplicity Waind Gohil Architects is a proactive and dynamic design practice. We are interested in simplicity and we create innovative solutions that respond to basic or complex requirements. Our solutions frequently include off-site and pre-fabrication technologies. Current projects cover a wide range in terms of scale, budget and sectors including: commercial, residential, retail, interiors and furniture design. We deliver appropriate, high quality results that go beyond the obvious, to excite and exceed client and user expectations. What we do We create simple, innovative solutions to develop contemporary buildings in ways that are appropriate for where they're situated, how they're used and what they might become.
To arrive at 'simplicity', we interrogate all the complex and conflicting issues and then distil them into a clear, appropriate solution. Our aim is always to look 'beyond' the obvious - to surprise and to delight. How we do it. Waugh Thistleton Architects. Leonard Street is in the South Shoreditch Conservation Area and one of our very first buildings. The original building was a semi derelict concrete frame structure - last used as a printing factory. The brief was to demolish it and build a new four storey building in its place. We looked carefully at the existing structure and devised a light-weight timber and steel structure to sit on top of the existing building.
We then hung a rain-screen faade from the additional structure cloaking both the new floors and existing first floor. The result appeared as a brand new building but at a vastly reduced cost and a shorter time on site. The building has a restaurant on the ground floor, office space on the first floor with four live/work apartments on the upper stories. Wonderwall. Zaha Hadid Architects.
