Nice Projects

WE ARE NICE PROJECTS

 

Nice Projects create welcoming, enjoyable, inspiring homes, workplaces, retail and hospitality spaces.

 

We are Simone McEwan and Sacha Leong. We have honed our spacemaking skills through a combined 35 years of commercial practice, working with a diverse range of renowned studios and prestigious brands producing exceptional interiors all over the world.

 

Our experience and cross-disciplinary skillset allow us to deliver complete creative vision as well as implementation on projects of all scales, timeframes and budgets. We work closely with clients throughout the life of a project, ensuring a cohesive, smooth process at every stage, from briefing to post-occupancy.

 

We believe in a global language of design that celebrates the local. We are committed to creating memorable, individual interiors without compromising on sustainability and longevity.

The Artificial Life Institute is a research lab and a flexible, reconfigurable workspace for scientists working on the cutting edge of science and art to gather. Located in a renovated teahouse in the historic Gojo district of Kyoto, it celebrates innovation and has been inspired by both Japanese and western design traditions.

The spaces are organised around a double height, skylit atrium framed by a translucent polycarbonate bookcase. The main meeting room opens up to a landscaped courtyard and features custom joinery with a handmade organic finish. We created a strong material palette, based on juxtaposing textured finishes that mimic patterns in nature, with a traditional Japanese vernacular, like tatami mats, granite and oxidised copper. Contemporary furniture sit under a custom pendant by Kyoto based makers, Kojima Shoten,
