Chan & Eayrs

Chan and Eayrs are a husband and wife duo of designers with a background in architecture who create individually crafted homes from scratch. Eschewing the traditional role of an architect, Zoe and Merlin get personally involved in every aspect of each project, from finding the site right down to choosing individual furnishings. Their roles as investors, creatives and craftsmen of each project mean they retain complete, uncompromised creative freedom to bring their visions to life.

This unique practice allows them to ‘feel’ their spaces, an emotional process that is emblematic of their work. They camp or live in their empty sites to understand the context, light, volumes and temperature of the spaces, and travel to find objects, materials and inspiration. By consciously making just one home at a time, every project is a journey, reflecting the couple’s current interest in a place, their influences, interests in materials and methods of making and connecting to nature and the elements.

"This determined design duo are busy creating some of the most thoughtfully conceived, artful and elegantly detailed new projects in London."
