The Skyroom, a new temporary roof terrace for the Architecture Foundation on Tooley Street, was commissioned and funded by the landlord of Magdalen House, Lake Estates. The idea, realized in steel with copper mesh facades and larch flooring by David Kohn Architects, demonstrates how with a little imagination London’s neglected roofscapes can provide a rich new landscape for the city’s inhabitants. It also provides a nice social meeting place where the Architecture Foundation can meet and get to know its neighbouring tenants in the building, says Sarah Ichioka, the organisation’s director.
