The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Owain Williams Architects has transformed a disused garage site in London into the Stroud Green Housing Centre, creating a public drop-in space and office for the Stroud Green Housing Co-Operative. The project on a 38-square-metre site near Finsbury Park serves as both headquarters for the housing cooperative and a community-facing facility, described as "a public building in miniature" that bridges the gap between domestic and civic architecture.
