Chase Sumner – No. One Centaur Street – Blog #5

This is an apartment complex that was the first major design by Sadie Morgan. This building is designed to combine both the horizontal apartment style of Europe with the traditional vertical English terraced house. The building is designed to let in a lot of natural light and is an open floor concept in each of the rooms to allow for sunlight to flow throughout the building. The unique outside design is because the original plan was to make the building look almost inside out, and to be perceived as made of wood on the outside although it is completely concrete. This building was a part of the London housing agenda to increase housing options for those in London, the design was selected and has been awarded numerous achievements and accolades. Most of the interior walls are also made of concrete to give it a seamless look from the outside to the inside of each apartment.
