The Phase 1 Lead-in Project opens up the front of house, relocating the box office, creating new bars, a lounge and a display space. The project aims to test design ideas for the future redevelopment, including furniture and materials to capture the spirit of the Edwardian listed building, for the 21st Century.
It incorporates a series of temporary spaces, including the design of a range of pop-up furniture and re-locatable bars which are hand-made, using pewter and bronze to create forms which are placed as objects in the existing listed interiors.
Future projects will include restoring the original Roman Mosaic Floors throughout, currently hidden beneath the carpet.
