The studio is founded by Richard J McConkey, formerly Head of Hospitality at Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby’s Universal Design Studio. With over two decades of experience, Richard has shaped award-winning spaces for global clients including Villa Copenhagen, Frieze Art Fair, Mulberry, Ace Hotel, and At Six in Stockholm.
Internationally minded, but localised in approach, he has completed projects in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Copenhagen, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, and London, amongst others.
Now, as A Studio Between, Richard leads a close team of London and international based designers and architects hand-assembled for each project; working in dialogue with fellow creatives, owners, developers, makers, and curators to craft sensorial, material-rich and enduring spaces. The work of many hands is distilled, to bring pieces and places to life.
With thanks to the team, past & present, whose support, contribution and skill has been invaluable:
