Alexander House | RESIDENTIAL | Marketing Director Tess Glasson says "The living space is the first room visitors come to when they enter Alexander House. We wanted it to feel calm and also curated. A spot to sit and pause with a tea for a moment pre/post meetings. I'm a super fan of the work of artist Justin Williams whose figurative work is spellbinding. This piece is called Wolfhound Interior and courtesy of the fabulous team at Coma Gallery"

Alexander House | OUR HQ
Alexander House | OUR HQ | The room is like a warm hug, a quiet and cosy space where the rest of the house disappears. I also love all the bits and pieces that line the bookshelves and fill the space. They all have stories, from the books we’ve collected and shared over the years, to the chairs that arrived during COVID or the beautiful table intentionally crafted for this space."

Alexander &CO. | ON THE WEBSITE
ON THE WEBSITE | At the heart of our HQ, Alexander House, is the bespoke pink concrete kitchen island. We designed Alexander House as a safe space for reflection, experimentation and to nurture the creative spirit, and in many ways the kitchen table embodies these values. It is a communal space that fosters collaborative discussion and engagement for both our team and visitors alike; clients meetings, internal workshops, supplier and trade showings, celebrations of birthdays and milestones.

Alexander House | Our Marketing Director says, "The loft space sits at the top of Alexander House and houses the pink bathroom, a living space and bedroom. When we were first designing the building which is next door to our family home we thought it best to keep it completely separate. During construction however, we changed our minds and built in a small opening conjoining the two. The loft is now an extension of our family home and one of the most loved spaces for our family to connect."

Our Senior Registered Architect Kristin Koslowski writes, "I love the way the stair evolves as it connects through each level; from the stone material change, the balustrade detailing, brass capping and the rammed earth brick at the top of the stair. Its story is there if you look closely and its small changes make it interesting to ponder as you climb up and down. I still don't know exactly how many stairs there are, I lose count every time noticing its differences as I travel."
