Conservation and Interior Design

A capital project to update the Conservation Science Laboratory for the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington.

The distinctive floor and historic beams aim to create a memorable space. The strong colours visually cut through the mixture of scientific equipment at desk level. The large windows give an industrial aesthetic which is strengthened by the updated services which are suspended or surface fixed.

The project has created a multipurpose, flexible and highly configurable space within the laboratory that is better to be able to adapt to different project needs. It will thereby strengthen the department’s ability to undertake and host multifaceted collaborative research centred on the V&A’s collection and its preservation.
