Millennium Mills and Trinity House Lightship – Royal Docks

Millennium Mills and Trinity House Lightship – Royal Docks

April 2019 — Once a centerpiece of London’s industrial age, Millennium Mills stands derelict on the south side of the Royal Victoria Dock in Silvertown. Built in 1905 for Spillers, the flour mill operated for decades before closing in the 1980s. The weathered façade and faded signage remain prominent features of the docklands skyline. Moored in front is the striking red Trinity House Lightship 93, formerly used as a floating lighthouse to warn ships at sea. Today, the area is part of the Royal Docks regeneration zone, blending remnants of Britain’s maritime and industrial heritage with modern redevelopment.

Collaborative Lounge at Target Corporate Headquarters

Collaborative Lounge at Target Corporate Headquarters

May 2019 — An interior lounge and corridor at Target Corporation’s headquarters in Minneapolis, designed to encourage informal meetings, employee collaboration, and visitor reception. The space reflects Target’s post-2010 modern workplace philosophy — blending minimalist corporate architecture with hospitality-inspired interiors. Curved ceiling soffits, accent lighting, and red brand-themed wall panels soften the otherwise sleek office environment, while modular seating and large communal tables support group discussions and mobile work. This type of open, flexible workspace became increasingly common in large corporate campuses in the 2010s, as U.S. companies shifted away from traditional cubicle layouts toward collaborative, design-driven environments influenced by retail and tech sectors. The Target brand’s signature red is subtly integrated throughout, reinforcing corporate identity within the workspace’s architecture.
