Interview with Phase Zero Architects.
Tell us a little about the background of your firm.
PHASEZERO began as the initial phase of a comprehensive plan to achieve complete turnkey projects. Our strength lies in our diverse specializations: Lisa brings expertise in architecture and management, while Flavia excels in interior and landscape design. This blend of experience and knowledge allows us to address a wide range of challenges and contribute innovative ideas to our projects.
What type of projects have you been working on recently?
We’ve been fortunate to work on a variety of projects, keeping our work dynamic and engaging. Recently, we’ve completed high-end restaurant and residential projects in Italy, a comprehensive flat renovation in Southwark, urban landscapes and bars for a major UK developer in Putney, and a custom library/sofa for an exclusive client in Kensington. We thrive on diversity and approach each project with the same level of professionalism.
Looking back, is there a job that you are most proud of?
Interestingly, one of the projects we are most proud of was never built. It was a modern wrap-around extension in South London, where the client gave us full creative freedom. Although the client eventually relocated, the design process reminded us why we chose this career path. This project pushed us beyond practical extensions and planning applications, encouraging us to pursue more intricate and challenging work. It marked a turning point in our approach and has led to greater success and satisfaction.
Are you happy to give appraisals to Hamptons clients before they exchange?
Absolutely. We are happy to discuss the potential of future projects for the properties being purchased. While we cannot guarantee council approval, as it depends on local authorities and neighborhood considerations, we can provide a statistical likelihood based on area-specific policies and trends.
What are the current trends?
We’re observing a shift away from minimalist and modern designs towards more classic and elegant styles, with an emphasis on sustainable sourcing. The two most popular styles are Neoclassical and Mediterranean, often featuring pastel colors.
We specialize in designing functional, personalized solutions meticulously tailored to meet our clients’ unique needs. Our management ensures peace of mind and tranquility throughout even the most complex project phases.
We create spaces that significantly enhance our clients’ quality of life, blending aesthetics and functionality in every detail. Trust our team for impeccable service and outstanding results.
