Designer Lydia Thornley achieved this solarised fruit effect by directly scanning in slices of real fruits and manipulating the images in Photoshop. The results adorn the 1997-1998 annual report of The Renewal Programme, a charity co-ordinating social and training projects based in the London Borough of Newham. Thornley chose exotic fruits such as lychees, kumquats and kiwi fruit to reflect the cosmopolitan area.

The open staircase forms a visual link from the ground floor down to the changing rooms and a new rear display unit.
