The Ideal Home for Lockdown Living

gallery

Collectarium and Peter Maloney build on their Lockdown Space Collection which invited people to post images and films online that shared how they had adapted, re-imagined, transformed and expanded their home environment during lockdown. This exhibition spatially reframes and recontextualises the collection to critically reconsider the ideal home in our increasingly unsettled times.

Practice Architecture, 2011

Drop in

Springbank

residence

One of a pair of modern houses on a sensitive site in a conservation area. A triple-height staircase atrium brings light into the heart of the house and ground floor areas open onto courtyard gardens on three sides.
