An architectural studio shaped by craftsmanship
In the very heart of Antwerp, Vesper Projects created their own office as a spatial manifesto of craftsmanship, material honesty and refined restraint.
This project is not merely a workplace, but a carefully curated environment where architecture, interior design and custom-made details come together seamlessly.
For this space, Vesper Projects collaborated closely with Kenny & Mason to develop bespoke brass elements that elevate everyday functions into sculptural focal points.
A fully bespoke brass waterfall tap
For the main kitchen area of the office, a truly unique tap was designed and developed in close collaboration between Vesper Projects and Kenny & Mason. At a certain point in the design process, Vesper Projects reached out with an ambitious idea: to create a tap that would not only deliver water, but also become a central architectural feature within the space.
The result is a solid brass bar, entirely made from full brass, hollowed out and manually levelled by hand. Water flows openly from the ceiling into this exposed brass shaft, running freely along the metal surface before gently breaking its fall at the spout and flowing into the washbasin below. There is no glass, no shielding, no hidden channel — just water in direct contact with brass. This made the technical development particularly challenging, requiring extensive testing, careful calculations and quite a bit of sweat. The end result, however, is a perfectly balanced and surprisingly soft water flow, both functional and poetic in its simplicity.
The tap is combined with the Brandwood control from the Kenny & Mason collection and finished in a custom Old Brass patina. This warm, living finish harmonises beautifully with the natural materials and earthy tones used throughout the office, reinforcing the tactile and timeless character of the space.
A versatile wall-mounted variation
In another area of the Vesper Projects office — the kitchenette — the same bespoke spout design reappears, this time wall-mounted rather than ceiling-fed. Once again, the tap was custom-made specifically for this space, adapted in proportion and positioning to suit its function while preserving the sculptural identity of the original design.
This variation demonstrates the versatility of the concept: equally at home in a kitchen, a guest toilet or a bathroom setting. The warm materials, combined with the rich, living Old Brass finish, give the tap a distinct personality that evolves over time. It is precisely this ability to adapt, age gracefully and remain visually engaging that makes bespoke brasswork such a powerful design tool within architectural interiors.
Pure materials, refined details
The final image captures a moment of pure simplicity: a minimal bibcock tap above a roughly hewn natural stone basin. The stone is left intentionally raw, its edges irregular and tactile, forming a strong contrast with the refined brasswork. This composition perfectly illustrates Kenny & Mason’s philosophy of total material coherence.
From the smallest technical elements — siphons, accessories, connection pieces — to the visible fittings, every finish can be aligned throughout the project. This ensures a calm, cohesive whole where no detail feels accidental. Warm tones, raw materials and understated brasswork come together effortlessly, allowing the Old Brass finish to complete the picture without overpowering it.
