The Queens Chambers expresses a space of quiet contemplation and inspiration.
Designed by FMD Architects to serve both the needs of work and hosting, the Chambers demarcates itself as a place of respite from the day’s proceedings in court.
The Chambers invites occupants to a space ideal for the careful consideration and creativity needed when preparing for the next case.
The FMD Architects’ team endeavoured to provide for both work and rest.
The space transitions with the day and a pull of a curtain.
It’s a nurturing environment that’s a welcome escape from the laborious hours spent working on a case.
Digital artwork displayed on the TV provides a selection of art pieces depicting nature and the curvaceous interior cocoons and nestles the client.
The office’s tonal composition mediates contrasting sculptural elements to highlight the views of the city beyond.
And the furniture was selected to soften the space both texturally and formally; the Fluffy Lounge Chair offers a moment of respite to engage with the ever-changing urban landscape outside.
Timber shelving extends itself as a branch, housing the functional requirements of the workspace, as well as the historical components of the legal identity.
The Queens Chambers is a place of much comfort and inspiration.
