The Water Tower
London, England, 2003
The Water Tower in Greenwich is a residential project designed by Loates-Taylor Shannon Architects and lit by KSLD. This unusual home combines a classical Victorian industrial structure with a modern pavilion insertion so it was essential to provide a lighting scheme that was sympathetic to the style and the nature of the building. The architecture is very clear and strong, and lighting it picks up the character of the building and links through consistent design ideas. Lighting is integral to the minimalist feel of the spaces and emphasises the essential forms of the building.
