My Role: In my role as Architect within a small team of other architects, I was responsible for the interior design of all spaces within the buiding. This required extensive liaison with the Client to develop concepts, material and colour palettes. Designs were then visualised for Client approval before being translated into 2D CAD drawings which were coordinated with the rest of the building: Mechanical & Electrical installations and Structural elements along with the shell and five cores of WC provision and vertical movement.
