CHARLTON CRESCENT
SUBWAY
 A
world of wonder will await when you stop
inside the subway for an exhilarating sensory
experience of colour, texture and light.
The flooring consists of fiber optic lighting
cables encased in as composition of clear
resin and crushed glass particles. the colour
changes in the light reflect the presence
of water.
Mounted on the ribs of the tunnel wall
are series of planetary lights set into
semi circular polished stainless steel tubes,
which also have the capacity to change frequency
to give the effect of light rippling and
pulsating down the subway.
Representing Time and Movement, the lighting
scheme intends to emulate different times
of the day, dawn and dusk, evoking moods
and atmospheres associated with the land
and skyscapes and reflecting the rhythms
and patterns that are created during the
daily use of the subway.

A
landing scheme further enhances the southern
and northern approaches to the subway, with
the construction of a new circular stairway,
pathways and seating areas to make pedestrians
more confident about using the subway.
