First look at our most recent project completion, The Fold... Originally The Warwick Building, The Fold was constructed in 1892 by Alfred M. Ridge as a furniture depot for Whiteley’s Department Store. Morrow + Lorraine, appointed by AXA, led a comprehensive refurbishment as part of the Kensington Village redevelopment. The building’s revitalization encompasses several key areas. The upgrades included creating a multifunctional reception area, enhancing connectivity to nearby green space, and transforming office floors into open, light-filled spaces. A rooftop extension added a landscaped terrace, while new lift cores and WC facilities were installed. The basement was adapted to encourage sustainable commuting, and outdated mechanical and electrical systems were replaced for better energy efficiency and comfort. The proposal not only enhances the building but also respects its historical significance and architectural integrity. Sensitive additions and careful restoration of period features ensure the building remains a valued part of the Conservation Area and maintains its status as a Building of Merit.

To celebrate Pride Month this year, Morrow + Lorraine went on a Queer History Walking Tour of Soho, one of the world's most beloved Queer neighbourhoods. Firstly, a big thank you to our fabulous guide, Dan de la Motte, for his excellent retelling of the city's vast and complex history of LGBTQ+ life in London. Iconic stories of pioneering drag queens, secret gay soirées, and trailblazing activism painted a vivid picture of how Soho shaped the city's Queer culture through the centuries. Thanks also to Gregory Murrell, Morrow + Lorraine’s LGBTQIA+ EDI champion, for arranging this event. As a practice, Morrow + Lorraine endeavours to provide an inclusive and accepting work environment that supports and celebrates its LGBTQIA+ employees, as well as the wider Queer architectural community. Happy Pride Month! Photography by James Morrow #pridemonth #queerarchitecture

Build The Way 2024/25! Excited to share our rebrand just in time for our next round of recruitment coming next week. We worked with Jason Badrock to help bring a fresh and unique identity to our branding. Playing on the word ‘you’, the U represents the individuality of each trainee and how this programme is for you and guided by you. The motif of many different U’s represents the diversity of each trainee and the diversity that the traineeship brings to the profession.
