Shakespeare Tower – Barbican

A home and show space for the furniture designer Jennifer Newman. The space was re-configured and optimised for family gatherings and furniture product launches. The original concrete basebuild walls were exposed to contrast with the wood flooring and accent colours throughout, and the use of stainless steel echoes the original Barbican utilitarian interior palette.
