It was in fact this narrow driveway
which was the key to the project. How to make the building impressive
and commanding when the main bulk of the building is 10m set
back. The tube seemed a natural way to bring the building to
the street. But because 5 cars had to be parked on the site the
tube had to be suspended and cantilevered as supporting columns
would have made the drive way to narrow.
The 20m long tube is attached to the
building for 10m of its length - it then cantilevers out the
next 10m unsupported! |
