Parking neater
Article Abstract:
The new double-storey car park at Stockley Park business park near Heathrow airport in west London is very unusual in design. It features a slimline, white-painted steel frame, and all four sides of both floors are completely open to daylight. There is minimalist marine-style balustrading with stainless steel handrails and horizontal cable restraints, and the upper deck is made up of thin pavement lights. Broadway Malyan acted as architect for the scheme.

Article Abstract:
The Kenneth Day Unit in Northumberland is a medium-secure unit, where offenders can be interned for up to five years. The building was opened in June 1995 and it includes a communal landscaped courtyard and what resembles a group of brick cottages. The unit was developed with a 'home' environment in mind and it has been praised as a model for future similar units. An overview of the unit is provided, including details of the unit's aims.
