Ian Potter Centre

Walls of Potter Centre is made of oddly shaped steel frames with different type of panelling. The frame creates an unusual look of the building
Solid, translucent and transparent panels are placed within steel frame structure.

The shadows it casts within the atrium and the quality of light is quite amazing.



Soffit design echoes the wall .
The envelope with the triangulation is non-load bearing. The main structure is columns in decorative casement.
The steel frame is a complex system of rigid and pinned connection. Joining and members massiveness is very harmonious. Although, i believe that members are oversized.







Frames are bolted together. the bolts are very decorative as well.
Some of the panels are openable some are sealed.


The detail looking up to the envelope. The services are run in the gap between the structure and envelope.
