Commentary throughout the video by architect at PagePark Architects<\/a> James Brimble and resident Andrew Fairfield emphasises the influence of the community on the building’s design.<\/p>\n

“As it’s a housing association and it’s also ran by the community, a lot of the local issues [and] challenges are fed back into the design and the briefing,” Brimble explained.<\/p>\n

“The tenants now have taken ownership of it in the way that I think we always hoped would happen,” he added. “The idea that they can then embrace it as their own, I think, is really important that you can do that in a building.”<\/p>\n
