Glass bricks

NOTES: This project was an extension to the 18th century farmhouse that had been used as a restaurant and represents an attempt to demonstrate that a modernist solution can blend harmoniously with old buildings despite the differences in form and materials. Glass bricks were employed to highlight the entrance front which anticipates that of the Finsbury Health Centre.

NOTES: This extension for shipyard workers was constructed on a small site between an existing building and a railway, which restricted the size of both the canteens and the kitchens. It housed on the ground floor a hall, dressing-rooms and lavatories for men and women, and extensive air-raid shelters, on the first floor a canteen and large kitchen and on the second floor a second canteen and a smaller kitchen.
