Mitre Yard - The Furniture Practice
An interior project precedent showcasing how exposed structural concrete columns and overhead mechanical ductwork combine with soft lounge seating and checkerboard flooring to organize a large commercial common space.
- What we like about this project
- Exposed metallic ventilation ducts densely trace the entire ceiling plane, contrasting with the soft lounge furniture below.

- Geometry
- Long open-plan volume organized by a rhythm of heavy structural columns, establishing clear circulation paths alongside clustered lounge seating zones.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete columns and slab
- Spatial scale
- High-volume open interior with double-height ceiling proportions and heavy structural elements.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight streams through full-height lateral windows, casting sharp linear column shadows across the floor and furniture.
- Atmosphere
- Lively, sun-drenched, and industrial yet softened by tactile upholstery and warm wood tones.
- Environmental context
- Interior commercial space featuring daylight from large exterior glazing bays.
- Spatial experience
- The eye moves from the foreground seating groups down the long central avenue towards the deep background bar and curtained backdrop.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating cylindrical columns and overhead ducts establish a steady longitudinal rhythm.
