Whilst working as a project director at Terry Farrell & Partners our director, Sean Stanley, designed this project working closely with the director of the Ri and Sir Terry Farrell.

The project required the replanning and adaptive reuse of existing spaces within this 18th century Grade I listed building to create a new public exhibition space, café and other educational spaces.

​

The success of the exhibition layout relies on visitors being able to orientate themselves within this complex building without the need for signage.  Our approach was to consider the routes within the Ri like public pathways and roads within a city. As with all towns and cities there are landmark buildings that we use to navigate around the area.  Within the Ri objects are placed at the ends of vistas, with the atrium providing the central hub from which all areas could be accessed.
