Slip House Brixton

SHARE

The streets of Brixton are shaken up by this contemporary glass house, in controversial contrast with the Victorian houses in the neighborhood. The shipping-container type structure creates load-bearing outer walls so the inner spaces are completely open and dynamic. Designed by Carl Turner Architects, the semi-opaque glass next to the windows allows the spaces to be filled with light, without having the internal view. Being one of England’s most energy-efficient homes, it is an impressive statement towards its contrasting neighbours.
