Re Casting
Allison Brooks Architects has created a large-scale, site specific installation that simulated the critical free spaces of their work in housing as four inhabitable 'totems'.
▪ The Threshold totem - is huge arches that acts as structure, destination, shelter and landscape frame. In Re Casting, an arch has been 'dematerialised' so that it radiates light b/n thin sheets of plywood, within its cross-vault, parallel mirrors create the illusion of an infinite colonade.
▪ The Inhabited Edge totem - explores the potential to enrich the experiance of housing architecture with occupiable places between interior and exterior critical spaces.
▪ Passage - every corridor has a potential to offer an experientially rich journey and a memorable space.
▪ The Roof totem - explores the spatial and expressive potential of roof forms in urban housing. Angled mirrors reflect the simulated roofspace into an infinite curve.

High rise for Greenwich Pennesuala development
The mixed-use sheme consists of a cluster of 4 residential towers of varying heights that has 400 units. A colonnaded plinth connects all these elements, forming a generous communal garden. The two towers -28 and 17 storeys - on the south west of the site, face directly onto the central park. Each building has 360 degree views, colonnades, roof gardens and co-working spaces.
The matal lattice expression of the towers and their tapering forms were inspired by the industrial heritage of the local area.
