“Surface maintain fantastic enthusiasm and are full of ideas to cheer up the dull, London, urban, grey scene.”
Peter Cook, professor of architecture at UCL’s Bartlett School 1991-2004
Surface was formed by Richard in 1996, in collaboration with philosopher Jeremy Weate and architect Kristen Whittle. Their first project ‘Soft-space’ won first prize in the Shinkenchiku-Sha Residential Design Award in Japan and ‘Aquaphilia’ was one of the ‘Ideal Rooms’ exhibited at the RIBA in 1997. At this time Richard worked for Will Alsop and taught History & Theory at the Bartlett and the AA with Jeremy Weate.
