Tex-Tonic House 1 is a penthouse recently completed by Paul McAneary Architects Ltd in Victoria, London, UK .The clients brief in this invited competition was to design two apartments on the top floor of the existing Cental London post office and Phillips de Pury art action house in Victoria, London.
Concept Design
Since, the two apartments are built on top of the existing Cental London post office, the postal delivery system has been the inspirational source of the concept design. Paul McAneary Architects responded to the brief by expressing and magnifying the ‘post box component-concept-element’ into large boxes of natural materials accommodating for the private program. We placed three bedroom boxes within the large double height loft space, to provide rooms for sleeping accommodation: additional to the master bedroom and two further bedrooms, they accommodate for the master bedroom walk- in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and a shared bathroom.
