LONDON WEST END

RIBA London hit Regent Street in May 2012, with a window installation project around the theme of ‘PLAY’ – in collaboration with the Regent Street Association and media partner ELLE Decoration​.

Liddicoat & Goldhill were one of 10 architectural practices selected – chosen by tailoring shop T.M.Lewin. Our scheme, entitled ​High Fliers, ​mixed the ‘PLAY’ theme with T.M.Lewin’s brand concept of ‘performance’.​ Using the shirt-maker’s crisp folding and cutting techniques, we reshaped fabrics, of multifarious patterns and hues, into lanterns. In our playful installation London’s skyline played host to a cluster of serene origami balloons, reminiscent of neatly pressed collars and cuffs.

The Regent Street Windows Project 2012 fuses together cutting-edge architecture from some of the capital’s leading practices and unique retail design. Together, the pieces form a street-wide exhibition open 24/7.” – The RIBA
