“The detail of the work is simple but beautifully controlled, appropriate and crafted at every level from the glass lenses set into etched glass door of the lens fitting room to the concealed vision panels in the mirror faced walls and from the etched panels to the display bay mirrors in front of which the frames seem to float as if by magic to the neat rows of mahogany fronted frame storage trays. Nothing is excessive or amiss; everything is stylish and clean.

That the architect has achieved such real and apparent quality with such economy of resources is exceptional.”
