Architects and developers Tom and James Teatum have launched a co-living building in west London where no two homes are the same, and residents can access spaces for working, learning and socialising.
The brothers, who run both property company Noiascape and architecture studio Teatum+Teatum, designed High Street House in Shepherd's Bush to offer flexible and sociable living to residents of all ages, not just young people.
Every home in High Street House is different
In line with the co-living model, the homes are small in size, but residents also have access to additional, shared facilities.
These shared spaces include a co-working lounge that doubles as an events space, a spacious kitchen and dining room, a laundry, and a staircase that functions as a communal library. Skylights help to maximise natural light
Meanwhile the homes ? a mix of studios and micro-apartments ? are designed to offer both quality and variety. They come in both single- and double-storey arrangements, and several have private outdoor terraces.
Each one is also fitted out with custom-designed furniture elements, including a bed platform and a mobile storage closet, to ensure they are both space-efficient and high quality.
Some units are arranged over two levels
James Teatum told Dezeen that their residents include a mix of singles and couples, both pre- and post-family. What they usually have in common is that that are looking for an attractive place to live, but not a forever home.
