Bishopsfield Housing Facade, Essex, 1994




The repair and modernisation of existing 1960's public housing blocks originally designed by Neylan and Ungless Architects. The functions of the window have been deconstructed and form separate elements of the façade, ie. views, ventilation, shading are split between the various panel types on the complex curtain wall.

It is an example of how function dictates the splitting up of the facade, something which is particularly relevant to my current design direction.
