The brief.
An imagined ceramics shop where each object can be seen in daylight, with a generous workbench for wrapping and occasional demonstrations.
Low plinths make an open landscape, while recessed wall shelves hold smaller pieces. The wrapping bench is the social centre, visible from the threshold.
A constraint.
An opportunity.
A small frontage needed both display space and a welcoming entrance.
The first metre stays clear. A single sculptural plinth draws the eye inward; deeper shelves sit beyond the door swing, preserving the approach and circulation.

A real plan would follow measured site dimensions, circulation requirements and a detailed client brief.
