Peacock Salt Meeting Room Cube

The Peacock Salt meeting room cube is a playful response through form and material to an unusual harbour situated salt warehouse site. A demanding internal environment inspired the thoughtfully detailed use of materials that can weather salt and the elements – glass, larch ply and polycarbonate. Against this industrial palette a wall of hand cut blocks of rosy Himalayan salt, one of the client’s products, evokes veined marble and glows while the meeting room is in use.

The simple cubic volume is animated by a graphic cladding which plays with three and two dimensional images of cubes across the meeting room’s surface and allows partial views into the space through translucent panels. Internally the cube accommodates two independent meeting and presentation spaces, while a new window puncturing the external wall of the warehouse frames a shipwreck in the backdrop of Ayr Harbour.
