So I carried on with that reimagine Suffolk House project I set myself and this is where I've ended up so far. . . This one is to the dimensions of the actual plot and I added a tower to this one. This time I've thought more about the practicalities of access to flats and the scale of each apartment within the confines of the squares and triangles forming the modules. . . There's a bit of inspiration from Giants Causeway, Odins Palace in #Asgard, as well as classic plynth mounted and tiered skyscrapers like the Empire State building and Chrysler building. . . You can't see it in these images but this development has routes cutting through it heading towards the college entrance next to it and the Fairfield. I want this to be a permeable district you might even stop to relax in to take in the courtyard, roof gardens or visit the ground level units opposed to a block you orbit. From what I see on Google maps the current building has a courtyard but it might be for services and private use. . I'm an artist not an architect so who knows if this would work in the real world or get through planning but oh well. Oh and the foreground of the 1st pic is where the current Saunsburys Local is located. Gonna keep working on this, play around with the render styles and see how I can develop this in Photoshop. Might even turn this into something to exhibit when this pandemic is over. ______________________________ #sketchup #googlesketchup #architecture #suffolkhouse #imagination #skyscraper #yourcroydon #yourcroydonpics #imagineer #stayathome #croydon #cronx #london #ldn #uk #aauk #redevelopment #regeneration #aauk #croydonist #eastcroydoncool #lovecronx #residential #landmark #icon (at Sainsbury's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-t3lNCHPRK/?igshid=jvnwf1zg1nbq

The tea selection was vast but this choice of my mom was indeed delicious. It complemented the sweet & savory items of the Afternoon Tea set. ☺ #MomKnowsBest #Penang #SuffolkHouse #ThisSemiVegetarianLife (at Suffolk House, Penang)

I'm a big fan of the work of @big_builds and how many of their residential developments especially have this sort of modular box design that slots together to create what would appear to be green hills in urban environments. . . After yesterday's grassed over tram tracks I had a quick go at reinagining my town again. This time it's a replacement for the tired old 60s Suffolk house 4/5 storey office and commercial building. . . The idea behind this initial idea is a building that steps back a lil, inserts a natural landscape form and greenery. I'm still learning @sketchup_official but the idea would be a public leisure centre at the base (with an Olympic sized pool) and on levels underground with residential above. . . Each balcony would have a built in planter for something like an Olive tree and ledges would contain draped and creeping plants to cover some of the surfaces. In a final idea the area behind the traffic light would step down to street level. This would be a terraced garden open to the public. ______________________________________________________ #bjarkeingels #architecture #stayathome #design #croydon #suffolkhouse #EastCroydonCool #eastcroydon #Croydon #cronx #londonpop #londonlife #ldn #lottieloveslondon #uk #reimaginecroydon #architecture #landscape #modular #residential #georgestreet #underpass #urban #city (at Croydon College) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hGdxDH_M5/?igshid=1j8p61g0b7hc4

The best part of Suffolk House's Afternoon Tea set is THIS. Their scones alone make the visit to this fine dining restaurant super worth it. #Penang #SuffolkHouse #ThisSemiVegetarianLife (at Suffolk House, Penang)

But what really convinced us to go to Suffolk House is its high rating of food. The house, by the way, is nowadays known as Penang's premier mansion restaurant, and a preferred setting for intimate weddings. Booking a table online via Table App was a breeze, too! P.S. More details on our Afternoon Tea experience tomorrow. 😉 #Penang #SuffolkHouse #ThisSemiVegetarianLife (at Suffolk House, Penang)

At the back of the house is a river whose faint sound of flowing water could have relaxed Light after a long day. 😌 #Penang #SuffolkHouse #ThisSemiVegetarianLife (at Suffolk House, Penang)

Compared to the more elaborate Muslim & Chinese houses we've previously visited around Penang, Suffolk House has a simpler Anglo-Indian style. Sir Francis Light, the founder of Penang, lived in this garden house until his death in 1794. #Penang #SuffolkHouse #ThisSemiVegetarianLife (at Suffolk House, Penang)

When in Penang, of course you have to visit where the founder of this island (a.k.a. British settlement) once lived. #Penang #SuffolkHouse #ThisSemiVegetarianLife (at Suffolk House, Penang)
