The Architect has achieved an inspired transformation of what were awkward and dark public spaces. The curved concrete structure of the existing building has been exposed and used to inform the interior, continuing the circular geometry throughout the design as a playful motif. A combination of natural and artificial light creates a bright and open public space that is a pleasure to move through. The architectural detailing, choice of materials and colours are carefully considered. Externally, there is a relatively seamless transition between the existing building and the alterations.
