A beautiful private house and stair designed by Patrick Lewis Architects in Hampstead, North London. The detail and build quality of the stair in particular were pretty amazing.

A cooperatively sunny day and three very cooperative children made this an enjoyable shoot. These images will be appearing in the Sunday Times in the near future.

The main image, a multi-exposeure demonstrating the uses designed into the staircase:

Back of the stair detail:

Balustrade detail:

Looking up at the staircase from the ground floor:

Elevational view of the staircase. Technically a difficult shot, this is a stitch of two 5×4″ film negatives, the first showing the upper portion of the stair, the second the lower:

Wide view of the bespoke staircase.

Looking up through the staircase from the ground floor level.

Staircase at first floor level.

These were shot on large format film, 5×4″ Fuji Pro 160NS, using the Toyo VX125b, with Schneider 58mm f5.6 Super-Angulon XL, Schneider 72mm f5.6 Super-Angulon XL, Rodenstock 135mm f5.6 Apo-Sironar-S.

BBC New Broadcasting House – Sheppard Robson Architects/MJP Architects

These photographs were from an intensive four-day shoot at the New BBC Broadcasting House building, Portland Place.

I worked on this building for more than a year when I was an architect, so it was fascinating to have the opportunity to go around it and to photograph it.

The original and competition-winning design was by MJP Architects (formerly MacCormac Jamieson Prichard), who delivered phase 1 of the project – Egton House and the extensive refurbishment of Old Broadcasting House. This was an extremely difficult design due to the sensitive planning constraints and an extremely high-profile site.

The second phase of the project was delivered by Sheppard Robson Architects, my employers for the shoot.

These photographs have appeared extensively within the Architectural Press, in the Guardian newspaper, and are in the current edition of Architecture Today.
