Gebler Tooth
Gebler Tooth is a RIBA chartered practice of roughly 50 architects and designers, established in London in 1984 by Sasha Gebler and David Tooth, though they originally set up with a third partner, David Partridge, as Gebler Tooth Partridge, in 1982.[1]
One of Gebler Tooth's buildings in London is the Theo Fennell jewellery store at the junction of Fulham Road and Sydney Place in Chelsea.
At Shoreditch House in London, part of the Soho House group, Gebler Tooth adapted three floors of an industrial building on Shoreditch High Street, into a private members' club for creative professionals. The project won the LABC Change of Use Excellence Award (London Region) in 2015.[2] The many Gebler Tooth projects for Nick Jones, and his Soho House UK Ltd group, include the original designs for the Electric Cinema, Notting Hill and it's adjacent brasserie, [3][4][5][6][7] Ceconni's in London and Los Angeles, Soho House in Los Angeles and an 8 bedroom family house in London which GTA created for Nick Jones and his wife Kirsty Young.[8] Gebler Tooth also created the Dean Street Townhouse for Soho Estates, though it is run by the Soho House group.
Gebler Tooth has designed a number of restaurants in London including San Lorenzo in Knightsbridge,[9] and Iniga Bar & Restaurant on the Fulham Road.[10]
Gebler Tooth have worked on terminals at Heathrow Airport,[11] Birmingham City Airport, Gatwick Airport, Sydney Airport and the Rajiv Gandhi Airport in Hyderabad.[12] For BAA Heathrow, they designed the Olympic Games 2012 Terminal, working closely with Nick Cole (Head of Olympic Planning at Heathrow), which had considerable logistical challenges.[13][14] GTA equipped the terminal with 31 check in desks, baggage acceptance and removal points and vehicle docks, passenger queuing, security screening points, passport control and departure gates.[15]The building was fully air conditioned and serviced with all required airport and airline security and data systems.[16] Gebler Tooth Architects have completed a number of airport executive lounges and the three stations for the 'Heathrow Pod', the 3.8Km guideway with 21 ULTra_(rapid_transit) (also known as Personal Rapid Transit) vehicles to replace buses and take over 800 passengers per day from the business car parks to Terminal 5, producing no emissions as they go.[17] The airport authority claimed it as the first new transit technology in 100 years, and Gebler Tooth also designed the Touch Screen interface where passengers can plan their journey.[18][19] Other Gebler Tooth transport projects include Paddington Station.[20][21]
Sports projects by Gebler Tooth include Team GB House, on the top floor of an office building at Westfield, Stratford for the London 2012 Olympic Games.[22][23] and the HQ for the British Olympic Association in central London, where the walls of the reception area are banded with the five Olympic colours and incorporate 13 glass cases exhibiting Olympic torches from games past. The Gebler Tooth design for these new BOA offices in Charlotte Street was praised by the CEO of the British Olympic Association in 2009, and opened by HRH The Princess Royal.[24][25] The offices were designed for both the BOA and British Paralympic Association (BPA) who would be co-habiting, for the first time.[26][27] Gebler Tooth also designed the Football Association HQ at Wembley Stadium.[28][29][30]
Sasha Gebler and David Tooth met while reading architecture at Cambridge University, where they contributed to a United Nations report on the vulnerability of low-income housing in earthquake areas.[31]
Their many office projects include a London HQ for Working Title Films.[32]
Gebler Tooth have been involved in town planning projects. They were commissioned by Salisbury City Council and Salisbury BID to review the current WCC Core Strategy documentation against a "New Vision" for economic regeneration of the wider Salisbury area; but with specific attention to the development proposals for key parts of the city that were under consideration. Their recommendations were not adopted.[33]
GTA residential buildings include a holiday home for Edna O'Brien in Ireland,[34] the conversion of a Victorian warehouse in Wapping[35] and a large country estate in Cranleigh.[36][37][38] In October 2016 Gebler Tooth completed a development of period industrial buildings and townhouses in Hereford Road, Notting Hill.[39]
