The building houses a studio, press showroom, and warehouse. There was a requirement to get 20m long clothing rail into the building for the designers press collection. The tube, the only 20m straight run on the site makes the ideal press room.

The tube was made to look as anonymous as possible, almost like a shipping container where you have no idea of its contents. The tube also conjures up images of telescopes and other instruments giving the building a mysterious feel - nobody knowing quite what is going on inside. So much so that some people feel intimidated just walking under the tube if they are unannounced.
