The work in focus
Joint work with Rockwell Group
Collaboration brings different design and delivery responsibilities into the same project. At The Shed, OSAN undertook interior architecture and decoration together with Rockwell Group. The account of the work retains the distinction between each participant’s role and the wider building design.
OSAN’s work at The Shed began in 2019 and was completed in 2020. Interior architecture and decoration were undertaken together with Rockwell Group. The USD 65 million budget relates to OSAN’s work, rather than the combined value of both companies’ appointments.

Material into space.
Material composition
Material choice is read through proportion, texture, reflectance and light. A wall panel, a floor module and a doorway form a shared composition. Their relationships give an interior its character at both room scale and close range.

Joints and transitions
Corners, thresholds, reveals and changes of plane resolve how adjoining materials meet. These transitions connect the visual intent with the physical assembly. Repeated modules need to retain a coherent rhythm across the entire space.
From room to detail
Interior execution moves from the overall spatial arrangement to the individual surface. Setting-out, adjoining work and the sequence of finishes shape the relationship between design and construction. The finished environment is the point at which those decisions are experienced together.
