Strata

Strata

'Strata' acts as a beacon and an architectural landmark for Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's offices in Guisborough.

Seven metres high the stainless steel column is overlaid with natural contours, reflecting the interplay between structured human activity and the natural landscape. On one side the contours reflect the local geography, while on the other side they match the contours of a human fingerprint. A vivid line of light bisects the contours at an angle, symbolising a path through time. The design detail is internally lit by fibre optics.
