On Thursday 5 June, we opened the doors of our Shoreditch studio as part of the London Festival of Architecture’s Studio Lates series, welcoming collaborators, clients and friends to celebrate 10 years of LOM in Shoreditch.
The event combined interactive exhibitions and lively conversation, creating space to reflect on the projects, people and ideas that have shaped our practice over the past decade. A curated retrospective shared highlights from across our work in workplace, education and retail, brought together through models, sketches, project visuals and the stories behind them.
We also used the evening to explore the future of workplace design, in the spirit of this year’s LFA theme: “Voices”. Across our projects, we see the value of listening closely, whether it’s to clients, building users, or the communities that shape and are shaped by the spaces we design. Those voices influence everything from early concept work to how spaces evolve over time, and the exhibition reflected how this thinking runs through many aspects of our work.
The event also included a presentation from this year’s Karla Roman Travel Bursary recipient, architecture student Alyana Rosete, who returned to her homeland, the Philippines, to explore how the traditional Bahay Kubo (house hut) continues to shape identity, community, and sustainable living in a changing world.
