FOYER (AMIEU)
From the main entrance showing the granite floor design and The Whole Truth display cabinets in niches.
The expanding grid on which the granite floor is constructed, designed in collaboration with Bruce Edwards, a colleague. In the centre of the floor the small, darker, square inserts, which sit elsewhere in the application of this grid in the inner corners of the four-squares, are enlarged. As the grid moves to the edges of the space they gradually diminish. The effect is to draw the eye from the richly embellished and furnished edges of the space in to the centre.
Three cabinets are comprised of three core elements, the granite niche into which they are placed, steel, glass and lighting creating a floating space, and the silky oak pillars and doors creating a picture frame.
