The brief

A showroom that
doesn't feel like one.

PCW asked for an interior that would let visitors experience their full glazing range — uPVC, aluminium and timber — without the cluttered, retail-style display that defines most trade showrooms.

The answer was three discrete pavilions: one per material, each scaled like a fragment of a real building, arranged on a diagonal so the floorplate reads as a journey rather than a grid.

Concept stage

Begin in pencil.

  • Every project starts at the desk: hand sketches, pastel colour studies, scale fragments.
  • The orange palette — eventually the floor path that ties the whole space together — was set in the first afternoon.

The plan

Three diamonds and a path.

Three pavilions — uPVC, aluminium, timber — rotated 45° to create a continuous diagonal walk-through.

The result

A space that
walks itself.

In summary

"A retail-style showroom would have shouted at every visitor.
This one whispers — and people stay longer because of it."
