This is a new apartment building in the Netherlands. It's really such a simple design and plainly detailed but I'd be so happy if this were the norm in England. Simple volumes with good windows, high quality brick, a touch of ornament and it even has underground parking.

It's crazy how wasteful we are of land in London when the city is 100,000s of homes short. This is a Sainsbury's supermarket in Zone 2: 2.5 hectare site. I've shown it here overlaid with a whole neighbourhood in Dubrovnik. Could fit 1000 homes. Instead it's mostly surface parking

You've probably seen this before many times and attributed it to the age of the building, but in fact this is what happens when you use concrete instead of lime mortar. Concrete is harder than bricks so when the building moves even slightly, the bricks crack.

They don't get as much attention as they deserve, but early 20th century buildings are so important to the City of London, like the 1910 Royal Exchange Buildings, originally the London County & Westminster Bank.

We've built a lot of ugly places over the past several decades. Demolishing them usually isn't an option, nor would it be sustainable. We can do our best to try to make them more beautiful, however, and more greenery would be a good start. Original photo via @createstreets

Yesterday the sun was shining on the late Georgian workers’ cottages of Roupell Street, a stone’s throw from Waterloo Station.

Everyone deserves to live in a beautiful home, not just those who can afford to. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, wealthy philanthropists used to build 1000s of dignified homes like this for the working class. Imagine if the wealthy of today set out with similar ambitions.
