Gerhard Richter Cage Series + Phillip Glass inspired design

I opted for Phillip Glass’s music as I found it held a rhythm that I could work with. I conceived this design as a medium to reflect the movement of city life having seen Richter’s work at the Tate. The building would be animated on a number of levels;

  • ground floor commercial spaces that allow it to interact with residents and the public
  • the passive solar control on every balcony
  • a series of communal gardens with one acting as a potential outdoor cinema.

The development provides 56 homes and 750m2 of commercial space.
