i do find it interesting at first glance, but it’s really just another hermetic, air-tight box with a sexy façade.

if obayashi thinks ms. levete could surpass zaha hadid, she’ll have to try something new, because everybody knows ms. hadid is already the master of hermetic, air-tight architecture.

I think this is one of the best works that have successfully bridged the boat construction technique with architecture using modern technology. The result is a highly original and eye-catching design. Aesthestics aside, the building is also very functional and practical with the clever “eyes” that are able to draw in light into the interior that would otherwise have been relatively rather dark due to the narrow street frontage. Definitely a very thoroughly thought through design that fuses unusual form with practical function, and a good case study for architecture of the future. She is definitely a lady to watch out for, as I believe she might surpass the great Zaha in no time if she keeps producing work of such high standard.

The facade looks wonderful, but what about the space, what happens inside, what about the rest of the building?

Anyone who discusses context and the buildings matching please educate your eye. The buildings in the third shot on the right are a beaux arts style classical building and what looks to be a thirties moderne building on the left. These styles are not considered “matching”. The moderne building would have been criticized in the thirties for not “going” with the building on the right. This is a tired critique on a building so obviously well-considered and realized as Levete Architects project.

Art’s Life: honestly, sit back, relax, keep admiring this building and it will finally click… this is an excellent solution to a set of design constraints.

Ron: not everything can be built out of brick… boring world that would be.

Art’s life.. no mate, just.. no.

Ron.. I’m sure that the aluminium will acquire a film of London grime within a few months, which should take the shine off by the time next years all too brief sunny season starts.
