ASG's brief was to cover and preserve the worlds
most beautiful Minton encaustic tiled floor.
This involved infilling a pit of 12,000 square feet
with 273 removable rectangular, flame-retardant and damp proofed
rostra modules, together with intricately shaped peripheral units.
The solid simplicity of the oak clad tops and heavy duty Continental
fold underframes with their micro-adjustable feet and sunken electrical
sockets, allows the otherwise fragile area to be safely used for
exhibitions, dance, banqueting or orchestral performances, as
well as enabling full or partial removal to display the original
1850's floor in it's entirety, or simply to expose the magnificent
and unique central roundel. Some or all of the units can be transported
on a series of purpose-built trolleys via an existing lift to
be stored in the basement anterooms, typical of a building of
this era.
