White lattice and walls over a glazed base

Origin
A stone carving of two entwined serpents

A factory facade drawn from a stone carving of two entwined serpents.

Two lines, one lattice

The bodies of the serpents, crossing and parting, were redrawn as a repeating lattice. The lattice was then set as a band that rises and falls in waves around a white factory block.

Two serpent lines cross and part, then repeat into the band

Day and night

By day the band reads as soft relief on smooth white walls. After dark it is lit from behind and glows above the glazed base.

Into the entrance

The same soft geometry carries down to the entrance, where the walls curve into arches and open onto planting.
