How the package grew

The work began with the main dome ceiling and grew by variation as it went up: further dome ceilings, the main lobby and the dome over the spiral staircase, all in cast GRG.

The light

The main dome, in every light.

The ceiling’s lighting moves through a cycle of colours, and the cast relief reads cleanly in every one of them.
