All steelwork in the staircase is painted
black to give the building a more generic warehouse feel rather
than a showcase feel. It almost feels like the space is external
as the studio space and press space is glazed off from this area.
In the studio spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors the ceilings are
painted black too, which makes the space feel higher as you cannot
read where the ceiling stops.
The circulation though the building
is very simple. Guests arriving to view the press collection
on arriving get a hint of the double height basement through
the expanded metal floor and then proceed to the press tube on
the 2nd floor without having to disturb the design studio. |
