Rooms with a view

Article Abstract:

The re-design and construction of Brook House in London, UK was undertaken by architectural firm Michael Squire and Partners. The brief was to incorporate commercial units and residential properties in one building. It was important to maintain a modernist approach to the new building facade, therefore Portland stone was used within steel frames. The rear entrance incorporates a glass hall which allows easy access.
