A Small Studio was founded in 2011 by Helena Rivera, a Colombian who grew up in the Netherlands before training in London. The studio name was chosen to reflect the practice’s hope that its attention to detail, and relationship with stakeholders and clients, would always be that of a small practice. Residential projects include Canopy House, completed in 2020 in Nairobi, Kenya. This re-imagining of a private residence on a steep and lush hill creates a cantilevering terrace that connects the house with the tree canopies. Inside, a suspended ceiling over the main social area was removed to reveal a pitched roof of Indian teak. https://asmallstudio.co.uk/
