Located in the Sackville Ward, Kew, this contemporary design embodies a minimalist form, clean lines and a simple and natural palette. The scale of spaces create a sense of grandness when people walk through the door. The utilization of large expanses of glazing and double height ceilings elevate the visual experience of the user.

Designed as steel portal frame pressed up against the planning envelope, the simple steel structure with exposed concrete slab is infilled with glazing and polycarbonate at the ground level.
