Designed by 6a architects, this early twentieth century home is retained rather than rebuilt, wrapped in insulation and reclad in reclaimed slate to anchor it to its Devon landscape. Inside, a three-storey, top-lit atrium transforms the experience entirely. A sculptural timber stair winds upward through layered balconies, while board-marked concrete frames new openings with precision. At ground level, the floor is lowered to draw the interior outward, capturing sweeping coastal views and intimate courtyard moments in equal measure. Photography by Johan Dehlin.

Looking back at a monumental evening in the archives of St James's House. In March 2015, we partnered with the Confederation of British Industry to celebrate the launch of CBI: 50 Years of Business Innovation. Hosted at their stunning Cannon Place offices in central London, the VIP reception brought together over 300 prominent industry figures, politicians and guests. It was a privilege to share the room with esteemed leaders as we reflected on half a century of British enterprise. Former CBI Director General John Cridland noted his pride in the publication, praising how it captured the excitement and pure innovation of being an entrepreneur. Our founder Richard Freed echoed this sentiment, reflecting on what a profound honour it was to collaborate on such a milestone project. As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of global commerce, we remain incredibly proud of the legacy celebrated that night and preserved within the pages of this 228-page hardback. #businessinnovation #stjamesshouse #cbi

The landscape of global enterprise is shifting faster than ever. With artificial intelligence rewriting the rules of commerce and the push for green energy reshaping industries, the need for visionary leadership has never been greater. Looking back, we were incredibly proud to produce CBI: 50 Years of Business Innovation at St James's House. Featuring insights from top economists and industry leaders, this premium hardback celebrated half a century of the Confederation of British Industry championing resilience and growth. As we navigate the monumental tech and economic transitions of 2026, the lessons captured within the project remain a powerful blueprint for the future. True innovation has always meant adapting to the times while staying anchored to proven strategies. #businessinnovation #stjamesshouse #cbi

In autumn 2010, Martin Roth raised six ducklings inside his art studio, later releasing them into the wild once they could survive independently. The project reflects his interest in ecological systems and the ways humans interact with and shape natural environments. Rather than producing a conventional art object, Roth focused on the act of care itself. The studio was temporarily transformed into a living space for the animals, with the course of the work determined by their needs rather than artistic control. Roth’s practice is often remembered for its emphasis on process, impermanence, and environmental awareness, contributing to a broader conversation around sustainability and responsibility in contemporary art. #martinroth #contemporaryart #ecologicalart

As hit TV show Industry returns to the trading floor this season, its high-pressure finance world sits within the same built environment as 70 St Mary Axe, a recent addition to the City that reflects how contemporary office buildings are designed, delivered and occupied. Completed after a ten-year development process, 70 St Mary Axe was designed by Foggo Associates Architects as a high-performance commercial building, where efficiency, floorplate flexibility and tenant requirements drive the architecture as much as its external form. The project brings together detailed planning, engineering coordination and phased construction, all of which are documented in the Artifice Press publication 70 St Mary Axe through drawings, plans, and construction photography by James Reid. Rather than being a symbolic backdrop, buildings like 70 St Mary Axe represent the actual spaces that firms such as the fictional Pierpoint would occupy: highly serviced, adaptable environments built to support intensive, technology-driven work. The Artifice Press book traces how the building was conceived, assembled and ultimately prepared for the kinds of occupants and activities that define the setting of Industry. #architecture #london #industry

Happy Easter from everyone at the SJH Group 🌸🐣 #happyeaster #sjhgroup

At the height of his career in 1969, Italian architect Marco Zanuso received an unexpected invitation that would lead to one of his most unusual projects. Sydney and Victoria Press, based in South Africa, had come across Zanuso’s twin villas in Sardinia in an international magazine. Struck by their simplicity and sensitivity to landscape, they invited him to design a house on their remote farm at Coromandel, near Lydenburg. Zanuso’s Sardinian work offered a clear starting point: low, enclosed stone structures arranged around courtyards, designed to protect against climate while opening carefully to the landscape. At Coromandel, these ideas evolved into something more radical, a house that feels at once ancient and modern, sheltered yet inseparable from its surroundings. Working across distance and difference, architect and clients developed a shared language shaped by travel, publications and a mutual curiosity about how to live within nature rather than apart from it. Creating Coromandel published by Artifice Press traces this collaboration, revealing how a chance connection became a defining architectural experiment in the South African landscape. #architecture #marcozanuso #coromandelhouse #designhistory #modernarchitecture #artificepress

From London to the world. 🌍 On 1 April 1949, the London Declaration redefined a global network, founding the modern Commonwealth built on equality, cooperation and shared values. Now 77 years on, that vision continues to connect nations and people across the globe. Through our work on The Commonwealth at 75, we explored this legacy, capturing the diversity, stories and spirit that define the Commonwealth today. #commonwealth #commonwealthat75 #onthisday #stjamesshouse #globalconnections

You can read the words but they won’t stay still. In Shingle Street (2004–2017), Marianne Eigenheer paints text onto glass in layered, shifting lines that blur and double as you move. Language becomes unstable, caught somewhere between image and reading. Part of a wider practice spanning five decades, these works reflect Eigenheer’s distinctive visual language, rooted in drawing as a way of recording experience. Published in collaboration with von Bartha and the Estate of Marianne Eigenheer, the monograph Marianne Eigenheer: A Lifelong Search Along the Lines brings together her work from the 1970s through to her final wall painting in 2017, tracing the evolution of an artist working across drawing, text, sculpture and photography.
