A coherent interior for a visitor-facing workplace

The VAC Italy project in London brought together space planning, interior design information and CGI for a visa application centre. The design work explored how waiting areas, customer-facing spaces and the premium lounge could form a consistent interior within an existing commercial building.

From layout to the visitor experience

The waiting-area proposal combines ordered seating with daylight, planting and a restrained palette. In the premium lounge, softer seating, glazed enclosures and suspended timber elements introduce a different atmosphere while retaining a visual relationship with the wider scheme.

The visualisations helped communicate the relationship between finishes, furniture and exposed ceiling services. They show design proposals rather than a record of the completed fit-out.

Design development

The reception and service-counter views show February 2025 design proposals, using the selected AI-enhanced images. The later March 2025 lounge and waiting-area revisions are shown below. These visualisations illustrate the design process rather than the completed fit-out.

Later waiting-area and premium-lounge visualisations record the next stage of the design process. All images on this page are design CGI, not photographs of the completed fit-out.
