Stuart Piercey<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

Piercy & Company are more than architects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company is a collective that includes architects, furniture designers, interior designers and researchers all based in their London studio. Stuart Piercy, who heads up the company, is passionate about their way of working.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe take on all kinds of projects, from pieces of furniture to urban masterplans but we are always very interested in the actual physical act of construction, architecture and craft, building or testing a lot of our own materials in our workshop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor The Bindery we were inspired by the local history of \u2018making\u2019. Originally on this site, there was a bookbinder, a jewelry maker, a clockmaker and a metal workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to uncover and celebrate what a building already possesses and not simply knock down and replace. We discovered so much as we stripped out the Bindery, such as the fantastic columns, brickwork and original terrazzo hidden by layers of plaster. There were lots of \u2018wow\u2019 moments of discovery as we progressed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe office has changed. People want to be free to move around and not be desk-bound. In The Bindery, we wanted to give people more than just an office by creating a variety of different spaces beyond the office floors such as beautiful garden terraces designed by Andy Sturgeon, unexpected glasshouse meeting rooms and a gallery space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven the ground floor is special, a town square where the office meets the community, a welcoming space and not a fortress against the outside world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe big question even before the pandemic was why would anyone leave their home and go to work? With The Bindery we have answered that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

About the Artist:<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Eddie Roberts<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

Yorkshire based sculptor Eddie Roberts, recently described by an art critic as \u201ca rising star in the art world turning metal into art\u201d, works with steel to create bold sculptures that echo nature and natural forms.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was approached to create a monumental piece, something I had long wanted to do, and after a conversation with the client and their architects where they laid out a vision of a calming, tranquil workplace in the midst of a vibrant location, it really was something I couldn\u2019t say no to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe brief was to bring something unique to compliment the gallery space, to create a focal point \/ a talking point that welcomes people arriving at the building, using metals reclaimed from the building. My work had to complement the many artefacts in the space, items that harked back to the building\u2019s past life. I wanted people to be able to walk around the piece so that each angle revealed almost a new artwork.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, art is about expressing what\u2019s in your mind. When you create something in steel, you have to push to make the material do what you want. I looked at the central beam recovered <\/span>from the site I saw a line – my work is all about <\/span>the \u2018founding lines\u2019 – while I was equally inspired by the Art Deco building that combines curves of the fluted stone with the strong horizontal lines <\/span>of the facade.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last year so many people have turned to art for their wellbeing, and this sculpture is in a building where there is serious work to be done but where people also need calm and thoughtfulness. I believe every building should have art built into it – off the gallery walls, out <\/span>of the museums and into everyday life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gardener: Andy Sturgeon<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

\u2018Head gardener\u2019 at The Bindery is Andy Sturgeon, winner of the Society of Garden Designers 2020 International Design award, who was voted one of the top 10 garden designers in the UK and has won eight gold medals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy was delighted to be commissioned to create The Bindery\u2019s green areas, immediately understanding Piercy & Company\u2019s concept of creating welcoming and relaxing spaces for a new kind of office building.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project was of course not without its challenges. \u201cBiodiversity means more than simply variety. The gardens need to look good all year round and thrive in the different environments to deliver the many health and wellbeing benefits.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRoofs are not a naturally hospitable place for plants; but we have sourced plants that will flourish in this habitat, looking to the Mediterranean as well as all the way to China, New Zealand and Australia.\u201d It was important to choose plants that will flower at different times of the year and to ensure invertebrates always find nectar and things to eat.\u201d We also included herbs and scented plants that enhance the sensory experience and peoples contact with nature when moving around the garden spaces.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the greenhouses, the idea is for people to come into contact with growing and nurturing things. With the benefits of spending collaborative time away from the desk becoming more valuable, this takes it to a whole new level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a marvelous project, the client has a real passion, has supported us through all the challenges, and has defended the quality of the garden spaces throughout the project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
