Wandsworth College
Institutional brief, residential warmth
An education-sector commission balancing institutional requirements with the warmth and craft of a residential interior.
Durable specification, accessibility and compliance were the frame; the brief inside it was to make a learning environment feel considered rather than municipal. Materials, colour and lighting were chosen to wear well under heavy use without surrendering the calm of a well-designed home.
Walk YOUR home with Manong before a single thing is specified.
The Discovery is the first stage of every Tone Commission: a structured meeting at YOUR property or at the studio, where Manong walks YOUR brief with you and tells you plainly what she would do with the space. She is the designer on every Commission she takes, and the work is never handed to a junior. The Discovery is a paid stage, credited in full against the design fee if you both decide to go on, so YOU find out what YOU are dealing with either way.
