This sensitivity-driven approach is evident even in her earlier
works, with the Soho House Group. For ten years, she lent
her talents to this international network of exclusive private
clubs, hotels, restaurants and spas. During that time, she also
completed a great number of projects: a restaurant, Cecconi’s,
and the club of the Electric Cinema, both in London, the
Babington House hotel in Somerset, the Soho House hotel, in
New York City.
All of them are evocative examples of her philosophy, to
create environments where people feel comfortable, spaces
that make sense for those that will use them - to create a
frame for life.
This idea, to enhance the human experience, she applies
to public spaces, private homes, products and commercial
projects. In 2008, for the first Aesop shop in London, she
decided to focus on creating an intimate atmosphere, while
highlighting the historical dimension of the building’s
architecture with thoughtful contemporary accents.
