Is it me, or did things just get sexy? This dark, sleek and brooding space is punctured by light wells and illuminated by bright bursts of colour. No this isn’t a nightclub (although how cool would that be?), it’s a private residence designed by the inimitable David Adjaye.
Completed in 2004, Lost House in London’s Kings Cross is sited in an old alley, parking strip and a drive-through yard. Within the envelope of the parking strip are two bedrooms and a sunken cinema. A platform supports the concrete basin of a lap pool and the living space occupies the rest of the yard.
