Property developer Almacantar wanted to create a series of books, each celebrating the untold story of a property – with a focus on the challenges, design and architecture. The first in the series was for Centre Point, once a disused office block seen as a ‘blight on the horizon’, now a set of iconic apartments and public square. We were responsible for the editorial content, curation, copywriting and design of the book. Working closely with interior architects Conran and Partners and public realm specialists MICA Architects, to ensure the inside story of the project was captured – warts and all. The design of the book makes a feature of original sketches by Conran and Partners and MICA, printing them on translucent paper to juxtapose them with photography in both its before and after state.
