Translation Architecture Details
Translation Architecture is a London-based design and research studio experienced in hospitality and retail design with a keen interest in heritage, retrofit and low energy strategies. Led by Nicholas de Klerk and Sze Wei Lee, the studio brings together extensive international and UK experience on a wide range of project types, scales, and budgets. The name Translation Architecture simply marks the studio's commitment to internationalism, openness, and collaboration in practice. In our projects we aim to expand the ambit of design to embrace a more holistic form of practice. The retail and hotel projects that we tend to work on generally have many stakeholders and collaborators and accommodate a high number of uses. This plurality is something we embrace as it enables us to explore the use and performance of our buildings designed as places for people. We actively encourage the re-use and adaptation of existing buildings and materials where possible and see the design, construction and use of these spaces as a continuous process of translation.We engage with clients early in the development process, helping to identify and evaluate potential projects, undertake feasibility studies to explore the potential of a space, building or site, often at pre-acquisition stage. This level of curiosity and interest is maintained throughout the design process, working from the urban scale right through to the detail design of furniture and joinery. Every project is an opportunity to develop relationships with the client, consultants, contractors and local community and other stakeholders. We value these relationships highly and see each project as a deep collaboration with all project stakeholders – this enables us to stay responsive throughout the design process and keep refining the project as we progress.
