Brief

Site and Studies

We've all experienced the Public Square.

How about exploring the potentials of the Public Cube?

In the Urban Room project, my client is a hotel company that would like to create relatively cheaper short term accomodation in central London on an amazing site. The building will be built over the Tower Hill Station.

The site is actively used for cross walking between Fenchurch Street Station and famous Tower Bridge and Tower of London. Altough it's a very touristic site, during the working hours the site still serves also for the business people.
