OUR STORY
BOX 9 was founded in 2007 by Lou Davies and Caroline Hunter following a 10-year career together as directors at a top west London practice. We have been practising architecture, designing interiors and collaborating with exceptional makers to create furniture and objects for over 25 years.
Our partnership is founded on a mutual, unwavering desire to seek the most elegant, refined and restrained design solution. In 2023, Lucy Franks joined the heart of our business, and brings with her an extremely rare and raw talent for pairing texture, tones, objects and proportions.
Today, our multidisciplinary practice spans architecture, interiors, furniture design, styling, and photography. United by a small but deeply committed team, we take a holistic, purpose-driven approach—ensuring every element is thoughtfully considered as part of a coherent and sculptural whole.
OUR PURPOSE
We believe that sustainable and regenerative design is not only possible-but the most beautiful solution. We work with natural, reclaimed, and waste materials and place equal value on the people and planet that shape and surround our work.
Our practice is grounded in collaboration and continuous reflection, actively measuring the positive impact of our designs whilst always evolving our processes to build better—both for now and for the future.
Craft and innovation lie at the heart of what we do. With a deep respect for tradition and a constant curiosity to challenge convention, we’ve cultivated a distinctive approach to architecture and interiors. We’re proud to collaborate with makers, artists, and artisans whose skills and perspectives enrich every project.
By blending technical knowledge, hands-on experience, and a passion for design excellence, we aim to deliver work that is thoughtful, purposeful, and enduring.
THE DETAILS
Lou, Caroline and Lucy run the studio, offering a highly dedicated and personal service to a select few clients. We collaborate with innovative and creative makers and designers from across the globe to form unique teams inspired to deliver beautiful things that will leave a positive impact on our wellbeing and the health of our planet.
Our projects range from handcrafted products and furniture, to award-winning restaurants, private homes, and rural retreats.
