Chase Sumner – Brill Place Tower – Blog #6

The Brill Place tower was another building that was designed to increase downtown living options for British cities, this one was built in Camden near London. The design for this building was to be that of a large vertical skyscraper that would fit neatly into a heavily trafficked area of downtown. The location of the building is in a recently opened public space and was a part of a huge undertaking to create affordable housing, private housing, a school, and other essential buildings in a public space. The outside of the building is fully glazed plinth to allow for direct and clear views of the public space and shopping areas down below. The sleek design is to minimize the space and footprint that is used by the building, but to maintain the goal of providing as much housing as possible without losing net public space. This building also makes great use of the natural light by employing large pane windows as well as creating micro tower like structures that allow for all apartments to receive complete natural light.
