For the British workshop, this is one of the rare buildings in the homeland. Since we are talking about purely utilitarian establishments of a shopping and entertainment profile, the architects were entrusted only with the design of the facades of two buildings connected by a common base of black concrete.

The walls of the department store of the John Lewis chain are completely made of glass, therefore, in order to protect its interior from overheating on sunny days, as well as to hide the unattractive reverse sides of counters and cabinets from pedestrians, it was decided to cover the facades with a mirror pattern repeating the ornament on the upholstery fabric of the sample 1803 year. Stylized plant motifs are fritted onto the surface of each of the two layers of the curtain wall. As a result, the ornamental reports offset relative to each other create a moiré effect, and also, according to the authors, should resemble lace curtains. Textile associations are relevant in this case, since John Lewis sells fashionable clothes, and Leicester was in the past an important center for the production of knitwear; also this project fits into the popular line of various kinds of "ornamental facades".

The cubic volume of the Cineplex cinema, inside which access to sunlight is not desirable in principle, is covered with 10,000 small stainless steel panels, polished to a mirror shine. Together they form a folded screen that refracts light and creates unexpected optical effects. According to the architects, it should resemble a theater curtain - in accordance with the functional purpose of the building.
