Winnie Tam . founder
After 15 years in architecture, working with world-renowned architectural practices including Renzo Piano Building Workshop, David Chipperfield Architects and Junya Ishigami & Associates, Winnie Tam founded fourteen a.m. as a design ‘enthusiast’ studio specialising in creating spaces that promote a natural, simple and calm way of life.
Her mission from the start was to help people create spaces that encourage a healthy lifestyle. Having lived most of her life in big cities — London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris – she experienced the fatigue of city living. Yet rather than leaving the city, she decided to create inner-sanctuaries for city dwellers.
The aesthetic qualities of fourteen a.m. are minimalist in style, yet warm in nature, based on Winnie’s passion for Eastern philosophy and how it influences restorative design. Yet it’s her unique process of working which gives fourteen a.m. its character. Winnie takes her clients on a clear, calm journey, collaborating with her clients rather than dictating what makes certain spaces work for them.

Samuel Wood . designer
Sam's desire to merge his lifelong passion for architecture and interiors, encouraged him to retrain as an interior designer.
Living in small, city centre apartments has inspired Sam's profound appreciation for simplicity and he finds himself seeking solace in simple lines and curated décor - to bridge the gap between fast-paced living and the need for restorative tranquility.
At fourteen a.m., Sam wishes to help create spaces that promote mindfulness whilst providing functionality; to collaborates with like-minded professionals who are equally committed to the values of restorative design.
Drawing from fourteen a.m.’s philosophy, he is eager to push his creative boundaries and refine his design sensibilities, gaining insight into the art of crafting spaces that evoke a sense of tranquility and purpose.
