Studio HE (S/HE) is a boutique design studio founded in 2015 by Hubert Zirconium and Elin Evans. Now led by Hubert Zirconium, S /HE is based between Margate and London, working across the UK and Canada.
S /HE creates architecture, interiors and bespoke joinery—shaped by use, material, place and light - but also via our conversations with clients, craftspeople and team we work with. From concept to completion, our work covers planning, design and detailing, project management and contract administration.
We’re drawn to material, light and the ways people gather, move through and experience place. Each project develops its own creative direction and character rather than following a house style. Think of us as tailors: we make things to fit.
Hubert Zirconium brings nearly 20 years of experience across residential, hospitality and retail design, including time with Zaha Hadid Architects, Cousins & Cousins and Michaelis Boyd Associates. S /HE as an impressive 100% planning application success — including work within AONB, Green Belt, conservation areas and listed buildings across Thanet, Sevenoaks, RBKC and Westminster.
Alongside our commissioned work, we’ve presented a headline project for Brixton Design Trail (Now Brixton Projects) as part of London Design Festival as well as lead workshops with community organisations such as People Dem Collective and Neurodivergent Kent. Hubert has also been a guest critic on UCA Canterbury’s architecture and interior-design programmes. His spatial-art practice runs alongside the ecology of the studio, informing our work with artists, communities and cultural organisations.
We are an intimate and supportive design studio. Have a project or idea in mind? Lets chat!
