The site is located behind Marchmont high street, Bloomsbury, London. Through a gap between the buildings one gets the first glimpses of what’s going on behind. The fleet of Victorian houses located on high street meet with the fleet of houses on Tavistock place at the intersection. A survey on the pipes at the back of these houses begins to give clues into the floor plans of each level. To the public, the site is hard to access ones main gauge is through the neighbouring sash windows. The glass windows displayed the site, inspiring the materiality of the structure. In the victorian era it was the fashion to display the latest accessories in “bell jars”, these jars inspired the geometry of the structure.
