"I do not like ducts; I do not like pipes. I hate them really thoroughly, but because I hate them so thoroughly, I feel they have to be given their place. If I just hate them and took no care, I think they would invade the buildingandcompletelydestroy it" _ Louis Kahn

"Served and servant": Servant spaces are supporting the main areas of the building. Served spaces are the primary areas, are meant for habitation and are meant for primary occupants of the space or visitors.

STRATEGY

The building is situated exactly in front of Regent’s Canal, which is a highly sensitive area, not just for what it represents, nevertheless for its market, history, and so on. Also, we are in a protected area of London. That is one of the main reasons why the building cannot exceed 13m in height, as the surrounding buildings arethreeorfourstoragebuildingsasmaximum.
