In response to the conservation needs of the Banqueting House team we designed an engaging and immersive visitor experience incorporating an internal digital interpretation and external building wrap. Taking the theme of ‘revolutionary building’ and playing with a Trompe L’oeil illusion we created an arresting and unexpected view of the Banqueting House where the passer-by can peer inside to look at the Rubens ceiling. Visual layers are peeled away to reveal historical content whilst a visually dynamic device leads visitors to the entrance, the lower hoardings highlighting some of the personal story narratives and architectural features of the building.

This 14 month project involved overseeing contractor procurement, sampling and testing, the design and rendering of interior and exterior 3D design visualisations, artwork, value engineering and the preparation of Westminster planning applications.
