The former technical space is transformed into a ticket office and a small bar. The obstructed narrow room is stripped down to its bare minimum, the disruptive partitions are gone, the beams are let out. A concise set of interventions is then performed. The walls are cladded in white tiles with a subtle chessboard pattern and flirtatious pink joints. The discontinuous ceiling is painted in blue, doors and window frames are touched with a tint of light green. Every surface and element are self-contained yet complimentary.
However, the room is disrupted by an impudent object. A striped counter of black and white marble is placed both precisely and bluntly. The long dapper box is slightly tilted and takes up the entire the space. The well dressed counter accommodates a small kitchen, a bar, multitude of cabinets, and a ticket machine. The same tabby box occurs at the info point, concluding a sporadic, though consistent intervention.
