A House For Artists is an ambitious model for affordable and sustainable housing for creatives. The ground floor is a glass-walled community space, where artists can make and exhibit their work.
The apartments in A House For Artists have some of the qualities of a house: front and back outdoor space; pleasant places to meet neighbours; adaptability to residents’ needs. This is made possible by a two-sided fire escape strategy, where corridor-free apartments feel larger but are NDSS, and residents can add or remove rooms to meet work or care needs.
