A Room for London

A Room for London submitted by Ström Architects

At the beginning of the Olympic year of 2012, London will witness the inauguration of what will become one of its smallest yet most original and talked-about new temporary buildings: A Room for London.
The room will sit on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall roof at the Southbank Centre in London for a whole year (2012) and will allow up to two guests at a time a chance to spend a unique night in an exemplary work of art and architecture overlooking the British capital.
It will be a place from which one can look out at London - and in turn a place which Londoners will look at and wonder about.
This one-bedroom temporary installation is being commissioned by Living Architecture and Artangel, two of Britain's leading cultural organisations. There is currently a call for design submissions, the most original and interesting of which will be commissioned.
