Our task was to restore and subtly modernize the bank, ensuring that the integrity of Lutyens’ design was maintained while providing the necessary facilities for contemporary art exhibitions. We collaborated closely with English Heritage to adapt the spaces, reintroducing original panelling and adding modern interventions in a way that honored Lutyens’ vision. The result is a “hybrid” space—a harmonious blend of old and new, capable of housing the most radical contemporary installations while respecting the building’s history.
