Project Summary
Dockland warehouses from the 19th century are ready for new uses – by 21st century artists, artisans and architects. The Low-cost residence on industrial site project shows how old buildings can inspire new living arrangements – in this case a highly-affordable housing unit in a prefabricated box with a flexible layout.
