Works

The Africa Centre

Located in the heart of Southwark, The Africa Centre has long served as a cultural beacon for the African continent and its diaspora.

For its newly refurbished home on Great Suffolk Street, Tola Ojuolape Studio was commissioned to bring warmth, tactility, and a powerful sense of place to the interior design.

Bar with bottles on blue shelves, two woven hanging light fixtures, two patterned barstools, and pink tiled counter.

culture Cafe

An inspiring & considered space that embraces a contemporary African aesthetic. Design expression is celebrated through ‘the imperfection of the hands’ that comes from craftsmanship and hand crafted techniques.

Built on the pillars of Community, Context, Cafe and Culture, it is a comfortable environment that encourages community and fosters collaboration.

A space that feels like ‘home’, open, localised and inclusive for connections. An enjoyable space for all. Culture Cafe is part of the wider cultural strategy in the borough and local area to engage the community.

The Getaway

Landsec commissioned the studio to design a hospitality-led space on the outskirts of London.

Our response was to design a Sensory Escape; an immersive environment with sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch to curate new experiences. Something new on offer to try with unscripted relaxing that allows a change of pace to foster learning and inspiration.
