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. |
