What is the history of the building?
Grade 1 listed - Pitzhanger Manor HouseHouse designed by architect
John Soane in 1800Building is restored back to original colour
schemeExhibitions are often site specific, they re-spond to the history & architecture of the
houseThe gallery was built in 1940
Who visits the gallery & house?
When a exhibition is on around 20-30 peopleOtherwise depends on weather
Winter - Half a dozenOlder people visit in the week
Weekend mixture but mostly familiesPensions & student groups
Soane’s work concentrates on:
- Detailing of internal spaces & lighting- Shallow domes- Segmental arches- Clerestones that he emphasize with linear ornamentation & colour- Neo Classical Style- Planar qualities- Clean lines- Massing of simple forms- Careful proportions
John Soane (1753 - 1837)
I would like the typeface to reflect the period in which the building was built in.However I am hoping the colour scheme will make the identity fresh and modern.
