Design-Driven Customizable Event Spaces

Mary Duggan Focuses on Minimalism for This Project

This customizable event space by Mary Duggan is located in the Science Museum of London.

Focusing on the concept of flexibility and quick adaptation — qualities that are quite valuable in contemporary times, Mary Duggan and her team attempted to "create visually and spatially distinctive interior environments." As a result, the space is elegantly realized through a modern and minimalist approach that boasts a pristinely white interior, floors that feature a subtle pattern for contrast and "gauzy" white curtains.

To amplify the functionality of the customizable event space, Mary Duggan also discreetly separates the layout into "zones" that are intended to "accommodate visitors and a service." Thanks to this dynamic set-up, the Science Museum of London becomes available for an "ever-changing theatre of activity."
