Caseyfierro Architects is a practice established in 2006 and
located in Dartmouth Park, North London. Both partners have
gained expertise in the design and delivery of significant large
scale projects within the UK.
Our design methodology explores projects from both macro and
micro scales developing solutions from the profound understanding
of those issues that constrain or otherwise provide potential,
using these to advantage in the final proposition. The resulting
architecture is created from the unique context rather than any
particular house style.
The practice has commissions designing buildings in both urban
and rural settings within the UK for clients in the public sector,
housing, entertainment, commercial, church and arts as well
as for private individuals. The range of projects encompasses
private houses to 300 hectare urban master planning concepts.
We believe that strong communication is vital in the implementation
of any design project. Our aim is to explore all design potentials
using all available techniques to represent ideas. We like working
in a flexible way using models, animation and conceptual drawings
to do so. This often leads to a good dialogue with clients at an
early stage of every project.

Remodelling and extension of a large light industrial unit to
create one of the largest studio and private gallery spaces in
London.
The first space you encounter upon entering the building is the
ground floor studio. This will be an ‘as-found’ space that retains
it’s light industrial character and rough material qualities.
The second of the three new gallery spaces created will be a
pristine white painters studio with baffled rooflights and a
polished concrete floor.
Finally, at the rear of the building, the removal of a large section
of the first floor and the introduction of expansive north facing
clerestory windows will create a new double height show space
of approx 8 Meters.
The exterior of the building will be subject to a ‘little touch’
renovation to retain it’s industrial character but with the
introduction of a few large glazed elements that will suggest
it’s new use. Much of the external clutter will be removed
and a few unneeded windows carefully bricked up to create a
tough and simple background to the new very modern, delicate
interventions.
The new extension to the rear will create a new plant room
and garage. The new brick flue mimics the size and scale of an
existing chimney stack on Madrigal Lane while the new brick
extension itself completes the corner of the site.

Aberfeldy New Village
Masterplan
The red buildings in the above model show the existing ones
thawt are supposed to be demolished whereas the blue ones
below are our new proposals.
The proposal will, reorganise, part redevelop and redefine a New
Aberfeldy Village Centre. The work will involve the refurbishment
of the best, existing blocks together with the redevelopment of
those buildings in the worst state of disrepair.
A range of new homes will be designed to introduce a more
diverse tenure mix. An increase in residential density will help
to sustain the improved retail offer and reinforce community
facilities. Dispersed, but complementary uses, such as the
health and community centres and retail units will be relocated
and, where appropriate, combined into ‘clusters’ of new buildings
to provide a more sustainable and improved service to local
residents.
New, more convenient and safe access into and out of the area
will be introduced with new crossings and bridges sited on
better defined routes. The problematic servicing arrangements
will be dealt with. Open space and children’s’ play areas will be
reorganised and relocated to provide better quality and more
usable space.
The overall objective is to create a new, high quality centre
providing a vibrant focus and a catalyst to stimulate investment
and momentum for the wider regeneration of this part of Poplar
Riverside.

Jasper Morrison Ltd.
Located in Shoreditch a redundant brick workshop building was
refurbished and transformed into Jasper Morrison’s design
office and studio. The site was accessible via a narrow Dickensian
alley originally connecting a terrace of brick housing on whose
party walls the present steel workshop and brick construction
was built.
The collaboration with Jasper led to a sensitive response to the
conservation area context. Minimal interventions matched the
atmosphere of the built fabric of the existing building. A portion
of the existing building interior was sacrificed to make a new city
courtyard to provide another type of space.
The refurbished building retained the sense of place of the
original workshop by specifying rude materials of unfinished
rough sawn oak and industrial natural asphalt tiles and where
possible the existing structure exposed.

Studio on the first floor. The challenge
was to create a room flooded with
light that at the same time assures the
resident’s privacy.
As a designer dealing with precise
shades of colour you always depend
on daylight. Therefore we introduced
this sober space to evaluate and
photograph the designer’s work.
A modest design of the interior leaves space for atmospheric furniture.

Poplar Riverside
Masterplan
The complete plan for Reshaping Poplar Riverside is still being
developed and requires refinement at a level of detail. Its
proposals will introduce structural change where necessary and
this will take some time to implement possibly the next 20 to 25
years. However, there are a significant number of schemes ready
to start now.
The client has decided on some priorities following an
investigation of the quality of the housing stock and
associated buildings; an appraisal of current community
facilities and services, and a critical assessment of the
quality of the public realm and layout. Each site has been
individually tested in terms of redevelopment potential,
decanting requirements and cost/value efficiencies. Taken
together they represent a considerable restructuring of this
location, however the scheme can be readily broken down into
achievable projects.
A major problem for Brownfield is the
physical barrier to movement caused
by the A12 major road to the east. This
severely restricts pedestrian access
into and out of the area towards the
future Lower Lea Valley Park isolating
its community and hindering the area’s
growth and regeneration.

There are some residential blocks which would be best demolished to make way
for new development and help achieve a necessary reorganisation in the layout of
the area.
The regeneration strategy provides the
opportunity to improve existing estate

traffic calming and planting so the

Chrisp Street is located a short distance to the north of Canary
Wharf which is developing beyond the civil engineering barriers
of Aspen Way and DLR tracks towards this part of London.
The conceptual masterplan explored a number of strategies
provoking understanding about how the site could be developed.
The site is physically disconnected from its neighbouring
areas. The concepts showed by scale of development the
established market area could once more become a destination
for Eastenders and become reconnected meaningfully to the
surrounding changing area.
The client through this positioning work had manifested the
potential for this part of Poplar to developer partners.

community in detailed consultation.
Development opportunities on land not in Poplar HARCA’s
ownership have also been considered, principally to ensure the
final result is properly coordinated and complementary.

Located in the centre of an English Country Estate the clients
brief was a contemporary villa for family house of 500 square
meters.
The site is located in a quite secluded agricultural landscape in
Hampshire and on the brow of a gentle sloping hill. The immediate
decision was to decide on the extent and shape of the site for the
house and garden enclosure once the existing cottage on the site
was demolished.
The proposed land shaping enclosure for the garden drew
inspiration from 17th Century landscape ideas of Ha Ha’s
spatially connected fields on all sides to the 2 hectare garden
and the pre Roman hill forts typical in the area.
The villa itself was on a single floor with accommodation
distributed between garden courtyards of differing garden
atmospheres. The house is an extension of the new garden.

Landscape archeology provides precedent for a new site enclosure. Within the
enclosure the trees are retained and absorbed into the new garden design
providing screening to the north east and the road. These trees will help reducing
the overall impact of the future project.
We like the idea of creating a ha ha
not only for its practical benefits of
rabbit control but its appropriateness
to historical landscape precedent.
