Earlier phases, completed over the past 20 months, have been treated in a 鈥減layful and sculptural鈥 manner by the architect, egged on by five collaborating artists. The box office has been inserted behind a Victorian baroque stone screen and a frameless glass flank wall. Inside, bold planes of sandstone, slate, render and even mock-timber laminate spread across walls and floor, all tied together by the scarlet band that forms the main counter.
Further along the street, the stone screen reappears as a modern stone wall enclosing a bar with two storeys of offices above. On the upper storeys, the stone wall gives way to a window wall veiled by slatted timber brises-soleil. On the ground floor, a pair of enormous sliding timber windows open up the caf茅 to the pavement and street.
