Architect's statement

After winning the bid for the design of a ticket office interior, we implemented our plan to adapt a tiny guardhouse and turn it into a small but elegant space for museum visitors.

The conceptual idea for this project was a desire to create a relationship between the present and the past. We wanted to prepare the visitors for a journey through time during their visit at the 19th century palace.

The façade was replaced by a stone frame which supports a double glazed door. This element opens the interior to small arcades at the front of the building.

The interior was configured to resemble a small white box, very modest but with some ‘glamorous’ accents such as leather on the countertop, shining furniture surfaces, black shining stone and a fresco pattern resembling authentic period wallpaper. We’ve also used a lot of white and transparencies to make the interior seem more lightweight.

The interior plan included the main ticket office space and a staff room with a sanitary unit.
