Here is the illustration I made for the brochure for one of Urban Splash new developments, which is called Mansion House.
"Considering that there are so many people packed into
one building, apartment blocks can lead to a fairly lonely life.
Long corridors with endless doors and communal stairways
filled with bicycles mean that we often don’t get much more
than a nod and a smile from our neighbours. But that wasn’t
always the case.
Look back in time a bit and you’ll find examples of gorgeous
Georgian terraces that had one door for a handful of flats, so
a nod and a smile would turn into a chat, a coffee, a familiar
face when you need a parcel delivered, a proper community.
That’s what we wanted for Mansion House.
Add to that the continental element with the occasional
small business on the ground floor, and all of a sudden
you’re transported to Paris or Amsterdam (minus the
language barriers).
This is the life."
