Quince Tree Cottage, Rockness, Gloucestershire. Architect: Millar Howard Workshop

An assignment from architects Millar Howard Workshop to photograph Quince Tree Cottage in Rockness, Gloucestershire built in 2009. A large extension to an old Cotswold cottage. The architect’s idea was to build a new Cotswold stone building next to the original house and join the new and the old with a glazed link. Rather than try and match the stone of the original it was decided to build the new extension with a drystone facing to contrast the new and the old. Sliding folding doors open at a corner to allow the kitchen/dining room to spill out into the garden.

Photographs of Oeno Wines in Cirencester designed by Millar Howard Workshop

By Quintin Lake

August 26, 2010 //

An assignment from architects Millar Howard Workshop to photograph their new shop design for Oeno Wines in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The design centres around a new racking system incorporating storage and lighting. The idea developed with the client was to place the bottles in a large array and then light the bottle labels and the ‘barkers’ each with an individual LED. The shop is a celebration of a huge variety of wines sourced direct from the growers.

The main challenge photographically was to convey a sense of space in confined surroundings and deal with the very high contrast lighting environment whilst showing of the details and materials of the refined design.

Photographs of Bagang or Anchovy Fishing Platform, Sabah, Borneo

By Quintin Lake

August 21, 2010 //

Bagang is a traditional fishing structure for catching anchovy made of bamboo in Sabah, Borneo. A large fishing net is placed on the sea bottom and light is used to attract the fishes gathering above the net. When this looks promising the net is lifted to collect all the fishes trapped inside. The structure is very beautiful, floating on the sea like a sketch of a house, which I imagine holds the dreams of those who build them.
