2-webThe design addresses the issue of inserting a contemporary design into this highly sensitive historic setting by means of a double skin façade consisting of an outer skin of planar glazing which wraps the solid concrete inner shell of the building.

    Hi there, I just came across your design entry for the Henrietta competition and as a recent graduate of architecture found it to be very interesting. I was just wondering if you had any other images which I could possibly view, I have only been able to view the one perspective image available on your website.

    Regards,
    Niall
