The Art House
Proposals for the adaption of an existing Grade II listed industrial building into higher education use.
West Architecture
A series of objects are positioned in the space, responding to the established structural grid.
West Architecture
They provide:
Gateways & identifiers to individual zones
Separation to quiet study areas
Projection surfaces
Pin-up & exhibition surfaces
Storage for chairs & movable partitions
Platforms for air-handling & piped services
They can be read as either follies in a landscape or cabinets in a large room.
West Architecture
Fixed partitions would be inserted in strategic places to reinforce the zones established by the follies. Quiet spaces would be located within the shadow of the follies and other fixed structures such as office walls.
