DCM3

London practice DCM3 articulates large-scale commercial and cultural venues through sweeping curvilinear massing, upper volumes hovering above deeply recessed glowing portals, and dark faceted metal facades punctuated by narrow horizontal apertures. The portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing continuous curved glazing across orthogonal street frontages or integrating multi-level public stairs to negotiate significant site grade changes.

What we like about this project
A narrow, razor-sharp light slot slices horizontally through the faceted dark metal wall.

Geometry
A monolithic faceted volume with sharp geometric folded planes sits inside a larger open industrial warehouse shell.
Facade system
Faceted sheet metal cladding system with integrated glass storefront corners.
Structural guess
Steel frame supporting a faceted sheet metal cladding envelope.
Spatial scale
Double-height open industrial hall with a single-story sculptural pavilion inserted inside.
Lighting
Integrated floor and slot lighting cuts into the dark metal surface, contrasted against diffuse overhead industrial daylight.
Atmosphere
Dramatic and high-contrast, pairing raw industrial warehouse scale with precise, dark geometric forms.
Environmental context
A large converted industrial warehouse interior with white-painted steel trusses and polished concrete floors.
Spatial experience
The faceted pavilion acts as an object within a larger volume, creating narrow circulation corridors and compressed thresholds around its perimeter.
Composition rhythm
Dynamic diagonal facets on the metal volume contrast with the orthogonal structural rhythm of the roof trusses.
