SPICE SHOWROOM

by Joshua Reginaldo

For Brief 5, my chosen guild is the Grocers Company. Spice Trade is a big part of their history and I want, through this project to relive that part where the company’s focus is on the Spice Trade. The building is composed of 2 parts, the spice showroom and the accommodation. The spice showroom has 4 levels. The upper 3 levels are where the spice plants are located. The plants are sorted in groups, alongside others that thrive in similar climates. Plants that are found in warmer climates are in the top floor and plants found in colder climates are towards the lower floors. A shop, selling spices, as well as a sitting area is also located on the ground floor, underneath the accommodation. The Showroom aims to educate the public about the vast selection of spices available all around the world and allows the Grocers Company to keep the Spice Trade alive.
