This was a small refurbishment project for the RNIB National Library Service in
Stockport that achieved a great deal with a limited budget.
The brief called for an attractive, functional and lasting design to improve a
poor quality existing reception and canteen area. TADW worked closely with the
client to understand the specific needs of the staff and visitors. This
included designing in accordance with the RNIB’s ‘Building Sight’ guidelines and getting to grips with issues of visual contrast, suitable
lighting and controlled reflection.
Walls, floors and ceilings have been carefully designed to create a highly
legible environment; and the result is a boldly contemporary design in which
colour, contrast and texture are used to guide you through a series of
delightful new spaces.
Disciplines
- Refurbishment
- Interior Design
- Special Needs
The scheme has been successfully accomplished, and has been greatly appreciated
by all the staff and visitors to the site.”
