FIRA
Posted by: Keech on 30th Mar 2010 in Keechdesign News
We are very happy to have been asked to re-design the 110 sq.m. reception area at FIRA International's headquarters in Stevenage. It's a particularly interesting early 60s building, showing great use of pre-cast concrete and lots of exposed internal timber beams and detailing nearly all of which is still intact. It has a Scandinavian feel, and immediately reminded me in some way of Arne Jacobsen's masterpiece, St. Catherine's College at Oxford (which I was lucky enough to have been given a guided tour of by project architect Frank Lancaster, but that's another story...)
