Q1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m Naixin Shi, a London-based interior architect dedicated to revitalising neglected spaces through the innovative use of reclaimed materials. With an architectural background and a degree from the Royal College of Art, I specialise in restoration and upcycling. As the founder of Studio N (now known as Patch Design). I champion sustainable design by employing recycled materials to create environmentally transformative spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a deep passion for creation, particularly in transforming objects and spaces. I believe that everything has its own vitality, and witnessing neglected spaces. And discarded items come to life through my interventions brings me unparalleled satisfaction. The ability to transform the seemingly useless into something functional. And vibrant is what drives my work in art and design. This process of creation and change is the core reason why I pursued a career in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My architect design studio, originally named Studio N, then rebranded as Patch Design in 2024 which was founded in 2022. We specialise in the renovation of old buildings and the design of sustainable home products. The concept of recycling and repurposing permeates our entire business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an eco-conscious design brand, we emphasise preserving existing structures and adapting them to meet modern needs in our space designs. In our product designs, we use recycled plastic to create furniture. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to protect the environment through eco-friendly design practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To me, design is about bringing ideas to life and giving spaces and objects a new lifecycle. It involves reimagining architectural elements, ensuring that each project transcends the act of construction itself. Design is the process of transforming concepts into tangible realities, breathing new life and purpose into the built environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
