First post and it's about posts. Or at least a structure/sculpture formed from posts...

An 'interior' that's been created to add interest to a corporate hub off Euston Road, it plays with light and makes a bold linear statement.

Each element is formed by 50 x 50mm steel square posts, with the dimensions fixed and used to aid construction. Posts are sunk into floor level, with tiles repeating the 50x50. The repetition creates a forest or 'room' that you can sit in and watch the world go by. And our eyes like repetition. On a bright spring day this is just the kind of place that can take your mind off work and make you look to the sky.

I want to appreciate these attempts to enrich spaces in the public realm. They can create a sense of place and add interest to homogenous office blocks in central London.
