More of the faience cladding has been installed at Tate St Ives. We can now begin to see how our rooftop pavilion will look once it is complete.
The ceramic tiles are hand glazed, with beautiful natural variation and they are paired with anodised aluminium for the trims and intermediate elements.
In form and materiality, the pavilion has a quality and richness of expression appropriate to and indicative of its gallery use. It is designed to be visually interesting not only from close proximity but also from a distance, since the pavilion is the only element of the new building which is visible within the town of St Ives.
