Is there going to be a large skylight in the John Lewis Store?

SimonTheSoundMan · June 1st, 2011, 11:36 AM

Footie pitches are around 110 by 75 yards, or 105m by 70m.

And JL will be having a glass roof above the open bit of escalators that goes down to ground floor by the look of it

Oh, I know why I thoight that, hope.

But, it is double height as some bits of the current concourse are. But the new station will have a much bigger area with the greater height, which will also have the huge dome (window is a bit derogatory for it) in the centre adding to the feeling of light and space.

I'm not sure what your problem is Bachy.

Plus John lewis are nice to employes and give them a share of the profits in a bonus!

Great store design too, this will be a store design to rival Selfridges.

What I do is go to greggs and get a sausage roll, and take it back to them, it does more good than giving money because I don't mean to sound stereotypical but they could be spending it on drugs.

sefton66 · June 3rd, 2011, 10:51 PM

off topic but has anyone seen this?

I was thinking that maybe this kind of thing could be done with the new street cladding at night to celebrate events, easiest one i can think of i the rainbow for pride maybe?

Well they did used to light up Selfridges Green for St Patricks Day and Pink for Gay Pride. I guess because it'll reflect the light be different effect if they tried that with New Street.

any idea why they stopped doing this? i assume it was because it cost to much to change the bulbs. This is the kind of thing we need to show a form of culture
