Deidra Hodgson's London Epicerie: Where Architecture Meets Grocery

architecture-design · 2026-09-03

Deidra Hodgson has crafted London Epicerie, a food retail space in Belgravia, London, at the request of Jared Wybrow from London Cheesemongers and Raissa van Dijk. Situated at 65-69 Ebury Street, the shop showcases light oak woodwork and warm stone elements, fostering a tactile environment reminiscent of El Equipo Creativo's San Martin Market. Shelving and display units reveal a subtle architectural grid, while built-in crates and prep areas reflect Studio Francesco Faccin's design for De Cecco's main store. This design integrates insights from Wybrow and van Dijk, featuring a farmhouse cheese counter, a wine selection curated by Daniel Garcia Thomas, and nutritional advice from Edmund Swinburn. Completion is anticipated in 2026.
