I think the most striking thing for me was the sence of privacy one enjoyed while being in the centre of london wwhile getting loads of natural light (a theme which is constant in Adjaye's work) And there are ventilation panels big ones as well as small ones designed so they can't be seen when closed.

This is a modern, intelligent and sublime interpretation of the way we live today. Well done David.

Most of the windows look non-operable, though I do see what looks like a ventilation panel. Adjaye is very talented as far as space and flow (and composition), seems a mistake to stylize the practical elements. As to the quality of the work: this project is better designed than 95% of what is published. I'd wager the budget is miniscule compared to stunningly expensive pawson, silvestrin, and van duysen What do you do to feel a breeze?
