“In the hall, I drew on mine timbering as a local emblem, reinterpreting it and shaping it into a gateway.”
The refurbishment and extension of Komló's unified museum collection and library. The loft conversion also made room for mining heritage, so in designing the hall I drew on mine timbering as a local emblem, reinterpreting it and shaping it into a gateway. The hall received a bespoke, custom-made suspended light fitting, tensioned from the sides, with a drop of almost 6 metres.

FRAME II · HALL · MINE-TIMBERING GATEWAY
“The entrée. In the hall, mine timbering — a local emblem — is shaped into a gateway: through it, the visitor steps into the memory of the place.”

FRAME III · HALL · TICKET DESK · MUSEUM SHOP
“Ticket desk and museum shop in a single counter. Visitors can enjoy a coffee and a small pastry while they wait, inside or out on the terrace.”

FRAME IV · HALL · GALLERY · DOME
“The building underwent a complete refurbishment, which made it possible to bring a terrazzo-like patina into the space with porcelain stoneware tiles. Beneath the dome, a bespoke light fitting connects the gallery with the hall and with the light. The hall can host receptions on demand, and has an eye on weddings too.”

FRAME V · HALL
“The circle is the rhythm of the space. It returns in the light fitting and in the bespoke seating.”

FRAME VI · GALLERY · HALL · TERRAZZO
“The flooring is terrazzo-style porcelain stoneware — tradition, reinterpreted for today.”

FRAME VII · CORRIDOR
“The corridor end wall rescues hardback books destined for disposal. With bespoke painting and lighting, it pays tribute to the poet after whom the town library is named.”

“From here the dome comes into view, and a new staircase leads up to the fully refurbished loft, now home to the dinosaur museum and the mining exhibition, with a screening room and a children's activity room.”
