SHH Undertake Major Works at Christie's

SHH Undertake Major Works at Christies
Architects and designers SHH have just completed the first stage of a �5m five-phase project for auction house Christie's at their Old Brompton Road showrooms in South Kensington.

The project, which has been managed by Abacus Project Service, is being phased over a number of years and has been undertaken in order to unify a complex building containing a very varied series of spaces.

Abacus Project Services, who were appointed directly by Christie's, will be working closely with SHH to provide project and construction management for the duration of the project, to ensure that all stages are delivered on time and within budget.

The aims of the project are to improve and simplify customer interface areas, circulation and signage and to open up connecting links to create better entrances and viewing corridors.

Galleries and gallery systems will also be modified to make them as flexible and multi-functional as possible for the huge range of auctions held there - selling everything from jewellery, ceramics, comic books and stamps to Star Trek memorabilia and Barbie Dolls!
