Project Introduction

Reading the work.

A modular elevator showroom where +- thinktank uses a suspended cube, translucent structure and raised interior curves to translate lift technology into spatial experience.

Design Concept

The project is read through its programme, spatial rhythm and the way the design turns a commercial brief into a clear experience.

Spatial Experience

The gallery focuses on proportion, light, circulation and the moments where the space meets daily use.

01 / Project Note

The facade uses lift-shaft-scale light steel modules to make the building system part of the brand story.

02 / Project Note

A suspended five-metre cube and orange light gradient turn industrial assembly into a strong public image.

03 / Project Note

Raised curved surfaces connect the hall, theatre, product core and negotiation areas into one continuous route.
