Residential houses London

The designers of 67 Southwark Street overcame this structural restriction brilliantly by designing triangular apartments, twelve metres wide on the largest side and just four metres wide at the other end. Each unit occupies an entire floor, with panoramic views over London. On the top floor, there is a large, original terrace for communal use. 
This extremely well-thought-out building also fits cleverly into its environment, establishing a pleasing connection between the modestly-sized four to five-storey blocks on Union Street and the buildings opposite Southwark Street, including the ten floors of Bankside 2 & 3 as well as the even taller buildings of NEO Bankside and the Tate Modern. The overall effect is balanced, through the horizontal regularity of its brown and cream layout of MAAX 49cm long-length terracotta bricks. These stripes lend structure to each floor and add a sculptural dimension to the building. The wide, ultra-simple and regularly-spaced openings offer a welcome counterpoint to the overall originality.
Use of terracotta gives the building a feeling of solidity and permanency. This material also instils an historic link with the large industrial building that once occupied this area. 67 Southwark Street is exceptional in every respect, unquestionably bringing a touch of true uniqueness to the regenerated Bankside area.
