During Lea’s time at Jestico+Whiles, we worked on the Pitzhanger Manor pavilion café in the walled garden of the Grade-I listed building, home of Sir John Soane, in west London.

This new low-lying building adopts a palette of warm red brick, flint and Portland stone with a planted roof, bringing a subtle, unintrusive presence to its historic setting.

This award-winning project has secured the future of one of west London’s most important historic landmarks, improving access and enhancing its offer to visitors. Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery is now a much-loved public attraction and community facility, offering a home for architecture and art and hosting educational, creative and family-friendly events.
