CLIENT'S VIEW

摘要

The Corner House offered us the opportunity to put back an original but distinctly modern building into the historic streets of Fitzrovia. The corner site enabled us to provide windows on two sides for most of the apartments, with some on the upper levels having three. The results are stunning -spacious rooms with great views out, giving a real connection to the area. We were keen to use a material finish that reflected the fabric of the area, and had been working with the Danish brick company Petersen Tegl on a number of our other projects. Here we chose a dark and textured handmade brick, reminiscent of the originally yellow stock brick elevations which were darkened by London's past pea-soupers. DSDH A has used this beautiful material with real elegance and originality; the double-rebated brick window reveals create depth and modelling, which adds a sense of layering and texture.
