TATE BRITAIN BALUSTRADE
As part of the major refurbishment of Tate Britain by Caruso St John Architects, I worked with Concrete Bloc to project manage
and build the mould for this spectacular Carrara marble terrazzo balustrade.
It's the focal point of the rotunda entrance to Tate Britain Gallery, London.
