In this project by Grimshaw Architects, they were tasked with creating individual housing in a very tight space. With the canal on one side and a busy street on the other, the architects had to design these homes to exclude vehicle noise while highlighting the water views. In order to do this they designed the buildings to be bounded by a wall facing the street to reduce traffic noise, while having the buildings face the canal. Due to one side being a solid wall, they incorporated skylights to allow in natural light on sides with no windows. What I enjoy most about these buildings is the spaceship like design they all have. I also like the walkway they created to enter the homes that runs along the canal, allowing owners to make the most of their water-front views.
