Mecanoo Architecten responded to the challenge of re-imagining the flat for 'At Home in Britain: Designing the House of Tomorrow'. Organised by the Royal Institute of British Architects, the exhibition re-examines how we live and speculates on the future of housing in Britain. Following in-depth research into the RIBA Collection, highlighting photographs and drawings of communal spaces in London’s mansion blocks, the design takes the elements shown in the collection material and creates a mansion block for the 21st century. Demonstrated through a large model, the proposal focuses on the communal spaces within a block of flats, including shared recreational areas for students, families and the elderly. https://www.architecture.com/Explore/ExhibitionsandEvents/AtHomeInBritain/AtHomeInBritain.aspx
