The making of space evolves by creating a harmony between existing qualities of the site and the architectural intention, each informs the other until a harmony is achieved.
Our approach has been applied to a range of work within private, and public realm projects, landscape and local led urban regeneration schemes. Alongside this practice we also create sculptural works and installations - for more information on this please click here.

We believe in a close relationship between the architect and the building practice, much like the once Master Builder who would draw the plans, build and oversee all works.

Our projects commit to make buildings that utilise local skills and materials and that are thermally and energy efficient.

Part of the aim of Sasa Works in to run workshops for local young and interested people in order to teach hands on design, making and building processes on actual projects and provide career opportunities that aim to foster a sense of responsibility and a level of personal ownership for their environment.

The intention of the works to this Edwardian House is to re-model and integrate the previous lean-to into a kitchen and living room space, creating a series of internal and external intimate spaces. The project playfully creates openings, extensions and built-in interiors that harmonise with the existing features of the house to interconnect the room and kitchen with a new courtyard and garden.

Having designed the project in collaboration with the client, Sasa Works is now on site operating as architect and contractor, working to install the timber frame structure and other timber elements. This will be followed by producing the built in furniture for the interiors in our workshop, prior to completing the fittings and finishes in Spring 2012.

Materials: reclaimed yellow stock bricks, british oak, black rubber
