Sketch, London



When I was 16, I was lucky enough to go to Sketch in London for a friends birthday. I thought the interior was very strange, there seemed to be no links between the rooms, the design did not flow though the building (as you can see from he photos. But then maybe this was the designers hope - to create different feelings in different spaces.
 One thing that did stand out were the toilet cubicles. Separate pods which had Asian music, running water, and wind blowing through trees seeping into the cubicle while you used it.
As the restaurant was very very busy, the main room - featured below - seemed very very big. There was a sea of people, all at one level, and then patricians dotted about, and then a very very high ceiling. Maybe the ceiling was so high because the designer liked the way the height made the room impressive, but to me, it made the ever busy room feel empty.
