“Feix&Merlin’s….jolly, fantastical design to beef up St Paul’s Cathedral by 50 stories (to protect views of it in a City increasingly crowded with high-rises) garnered splashes in the papers, while their first actual building – a beach hut in Mablethorpe,…won last year’s Bathing Beauties competition to reimagine the seaside classic.”

‘Collaborating with Feix&Merlin was hugely helped by their unfailingly positive attitude, sense of discernment, rigour and high standards of design and execution. This was a fast-track project, and Julia and Tarek came through with flying colours, creating a distinctive, expressive, and integrated exhibition, graphic and brand design. If the exhibition tours we have a robust, easy to dismount and mount solution, too. I would not hesitate to recommend them as architects and designers, and hope we find another opportunity to collaborate in the near future.’

“I commissioned Feix&Merlin Architects for the refurbishment/extension of a warehouse on Hoxton Square in East London. The F&M team approached all aspects of the job with a level of knowledge, experience and professionalism, and navigated the planning approval process with expertise resulting in consistently positive results. Furthermore the highly consultative and efficient culture that has been created within the practice makes them a joy to work with”

“Our experience of working with F&M was fantastic. Not only did they contribute to our project with a beautiful and creative exhibition design, they took responsibility for all stages of the project. From the first concept developments through to the installation of the exhibition, Julia and Tarek made everything very easy for us!”

“Feix and Merlin have curated a magical world which pushes the boundaries of creative possibility, freeing the spectator to explore and delve deeper into the theatrical experience.”

“Tarek and Julia helped us in the design of our Mansard extension for our Grade II listed property. Tarek and Julia were successfully able to navigate the confines of the restrictions on the external appearance and design while offering innovative, exciting internal design options. As well as the design and architectural specifications Tarek and Julia liaised with the Council and the Heritage bodies throughout the process and joined us in a meeting with our neighbours where the design and its implications were discussed. Throughout the process Julia and Tarek were responsive, open minded, optimistic, positive and unfailingly determined to find the best design solution available. It has been a pleasure working with them both.”

“Feix and Merlin are nothing short of excellent. They captured the attention of The Sunday Times Style editors and commercial team alike with their strong grasp of the brand and ease in combining imaginative art-inspired concepts with a bold yet functional store layout. Their ability to execute under incredibly tight time scales with impeccable project planning skills was the cherry on top. I highly recommend choosing Feix and Merlin if you are after a cool, considered result.”

“F&M brought a bit of magic to the West Handyside Canopy at King’s Cross in 2013, with a completely original roller skating rink called ‘Skate KX’.  They have been my favourite architects to work with.  Julia and Tarek embody the thing I love most about the design process – they bring a whole new perspective that you wonder why you’d never seen before, and they have fun doing it.” 

“Imaginative, empathetic and contemporary are just three of the adjectives I would use to describe Feix and Merlin…They are a great team to work with, a joy in fact and I am sure they will be working at the LSE in the future.”
