Brown and pleasant land

Article Abstract:

A housing development in London, England, offers a solution for achieving brownfield building targets. The development, designed by Levitt Bernstein Associates, is on the site of a former warehouse. The design uses some of the shell of the warehouse for four levels of small flats. This plan precluded any need to refer to the Unitary Development Plan. Levitt Bernstein also incorporated further houses within the original walls of the warehouse, and provided a space-saving communal laundry for some of the flats.
