Sasha Holzer panels reproduced in stone

30 Broadwick Street, London

The Portland stone panels in the lobby

stoneCIRCLE worked on a commission from Szerelmey Ltd. for a new mixed office and retail use development at 30 Broadwick Street, Soho which was opened in November 2016. The façade and lobby featured panels by Sasha Holzer, an artist known for his work carving geometric panels in wood. 

stoneCIRCLE laser scanned the ¼ size wooden panels carved by Sasha and then enlarged the 3D files to full size so that its CNC machine could accurately carve them in Jordans Basebed Portland Stone.  Each panel was then carefully finished by hand. 

There were 5 internal panels which measured 1960mm in height x 764mm wide and 18 external panels set between the brick piers: 16 on Broadwick Street and 2 on the Poland Street façade.  The external panels featured 11 different designs with 7 of them being mirrored and/or rotated and repeated.
