Holloway Road

This is a 2 bedroom apartment tucked away in London city centre. Discreetly accessed from the street the apartment is a self-contained pod placed carefully atop an existing 2 storey building. The external envelope mimics and reflects its surroundings creating a dynamic interface between old and new, reflecting light down to dwellings below and blending into its context. This project reimagines the constrained congested urban living, creating an oasis hiding in plain sight. The rooftop terrace gives much valued amenity space with the angled walls of the pod continuing past the roof to afford privacy to both the residents and neighbours.
