The interior spaces are broad, intimate and overlook small gardens. Caruso St John was formed in London,  with a second office in Zurich, by Adam Caruso and Peter St John in 1990 with the aim of pursuing architecture that is rooted in place.

The Plumen 001 works like any other high quality low energy bulb – saving you 80% on your energy bills and lasting 8 times longer than a standard incandescent bulb. Designed by HULGER and Samuel Wilkinson.
