Obsessed with concrete in Sunday Times

October 9, 2016

“…people who like concrete can get quite obsessed” says Roger Zogolovitch. “Concrete is shedding its drab image and finding a place in the hearts of the smart set. First it was distressed timber. Then came exposed brick. Now, the latest rugged material to be fetishised by interior designers is concrete. For years, it’s been cherished only by a fringe of modern architects, and reviled by a public scarred by memories of 1960s brutalism, but the middle classes are suddenly going gaga for big grey slabs.”

This means that you progress up them from half-level to half-level, rather than whole floors at a time, Read more

The idea will be piloted across five sites in the UK including Old Oak Common in North West London to begin with, in the hope that 30,000 affordable ‘starter homes’ can be built on brownfield sites over the next five years.
