Group 10 Lobby Line Up

With this project we intend to redesign/reconstruct the MSSA space in Chatham, 6th floor lift lobby. The space has a lot more potential that it is displaying now and a redesign is due. It lacks a sense of place, a power supply and adequate lighting so we will be looking to make it a lot more engaging. Through a complete reconceptualisation we are going to address the idle space and the challenge to populate the desk with literature or people. We are looking to redesign not only the MSSA desk, but the entire lift lobby; including the glass walls into the printing room, and contiguous wall (currently displaying previous projects and bins), and involving a better strategy for lighting the space and activating it with the possibility of integrated seating. // Download Poster
