Rogers’ riverside workshop—part boat, part greenhouse, part manifesto about making architecture where you can see it happen.
Development in Hammersmith, London.
Featured in Richard Rogers's definitive monograph, Richard Rogers: Complete Works.
Visitor Guide
Don’t try to enter (it’s a working studio/private); walk the Thames Path and read the building in section: long elevation, glazed bands, and the river as front yard.
On the Thames Path directly opposite Rainville Road frontage, late afternoon when reflections animate the glazing.
Generally not open to the public; enjoy from the Thames Path and nearby bridges.
This was Rogers’ own office—so details feel like a self-portrait: services, structure, and workspace all slightly ‘on display’.
15–30 min
Design & Structure
High-tech office logic: flexible floorplates, visible structural rhythm, and service integration; designed as a living laboratory for the practice.
Steel frame + extensive glazing; materiality is about transparency and making work visible.
Engineering is straightforward but expressive: long, narrow plan with repetitive structure optimized for adaptable studio space.
