How was the project executed?
The central concept was a series of huge, bright canvasses, following the curve of the walls and in the stairwells. These featured abstracted, flattened natural images with intense colours – sand dunes, leaves, water – and were echoed in overlapping hanging banners, strategically positioned throughout the building. The imagery served physically to create recesses and installations, and achieved a strong, identifiable presence on each floor through use of a specific colour. Furniture, halo lighting and floor textures were colour co-ordinated to further define the zones. Clusters of information were presented on modular aluminium panels by doors and stairways, each one topped with a small strip of the relevant zonal image.
