This brochure was created to showcase our very first Solidspace project on Centaur Street. We like to think of it as a catalogue for an art piece as we view this project as a sculpture for living in. Entitled, Between the Viaduct and My Dreams (a line from a song by Van Morrison), the monograph tells the story of our collaboration with architects dRMM and how the development came to fruition.
A foreword by journalist Jonathan Glancey is included, who at the time of publishing was the architecture critic for the Guardian. An extract from his essay…
“What our cities need is developers with the intelligent concern and willingness to take risks of Roger Zogolovitch, the talents of architects like dRMM and local authority officers keen to create a new generation of popular housing free of sentimentality, kitsch detailing and wilfully anti-urban design. Standing alongside one of the busiest main line railways in Europe, One Centaur Street might not be everyone’s choice, but as a pointer to the standard of city housing we can easily have if we want it, it is all but peerless.”
