The Duchess, Amsterdam.

A historic building, over 100 years old, reimagined from a former bank into a vibrant urban brasserie.
Original elements - soaring ceilings, stained glass windows and preserved details - meet contemporary design to create a relaxed yet elegant social atmosphere, inspired by classic grand brasseries.

Past and present, brought together through space, material and light. Swipe to see more →

This project revisited the spatial conventions of fine jewelry retail - environments historically organised around frontal display, prescribed circulation, and distance.

As explored in earlier ÂME posts, the design drew on a range of references and considerations. Here, the focus shifts to how these ideas were translated into spatial flow and physical experience.

At a time when fine jewelry stores largely adhered to fixed routes and clearly defined fronts, ÂME was conceived as an open field rather than a sequence.
There is no single path and no predetermined order. Movement is non-linear, allowing wandering, pause, and return - shaped by intuition rather than direction.

Counters were positioned as a dispersed family of independent objects, defining points of encounter rather than fronts. Circulation unfolds around them, between them, and through them - not in opposition to them.

Jewelry appears gradually, encountered along the way rather than revealed all at once - softening the traditional distance between visitor and object.

We’re happy to share a recent feature on The Cube Canary Wharf, published by Hospitality Interiors.

This project challenged us to think about how design can translate emotion into space - tension, anticipation, play, and release, rather than simply responding to a brief or a format.

Instead of recreating a television experience, we focused on building an architectural journey: one that moves between intensity and pause, competition and observation, structure and play.

Thank you to Hospitality Interiors Magazine for taking the time to look closely at the project.

The Cube Canary Wharf: A Playground of Design and Play | Hospitality Interiors Visiting The Cube Canary Wharf, I was immediately struck by how Baranowitz + Kronenberg have transformed a well-known UK television game show into a fully immersive architectural experience.

At .rest , the kitchen is already alive.
Chef and the team in final tests - refining, tasting, preparing.

Before the doors open.
Before it becomes a destination.
