Fractured Gallery — An Interior Exploration of Deterioration, Narrative and Creative Collaboration
Fractured Gallery is a multi-floor conceptual interior design project that reimagines the Webb Building in Cambridge as a creative hub for students in photography, fashion, and graphic design. The project explores the architectural language of fractures and cracks, using them not as flaws but as guiding features that shape the spatial narrative.
At its core, the design is driven by the idea that imperfections can be a source of inspiration. Architectural fractures, embedded resin paths, and textured surfaces are used to lead visitors through the building, revealing spaces that encourage collaboration, reflection, and creative experimentation. Each zone within the gallery responds uniquely to its intended users, from the tactile needs of fashion design to the visual sensitivity required in photography.
The ground floor offers a relaxed communal workspace with a large shared table, while upper levels feature specialised zones for creative disciplines, a sculptural coffee shop, and an outdoor balcony space. Material exploration was central to the process—resin, plaster, and moulded elements reflect a physical response to the conceptual theme of deterioration and renewal.
Fractured Gallery demonstrates a sensitive balance between storytelling and spatial function. It proposes an environment that encourages creative growth while remaining deeply connected to the architectural and emotional language of the building itself. The result is a bold, immersive interior that celebrates transformation, collaboration, and design as a living process.
