Conversion of stone workshop to create show room for Kirkstone's stone products
The aim of the project was to convert an under-utilised rugged Lakeland stone workshop into a new showroom for Kirkstone at the Head Office near Ambleside, Cumbria.
The essential element of the brief was to ensure that the new space demonstrated the rich and varied solutions offered by Kirkstone either using the indignous stone or imported products.
Our solution was a carefully considered and detailed contemporary interior design which ensured that the beauty and versatility of Kirkstone's materials, products and manufacturing capabilities was always the star of the show.
The scheme has been realised to the highest standards providing the best possible showcase for Kirkstone.
