Another hipster hangout? In Colindale? Could be this. Ye can see the concrete fire escape tower on streetview. "18 storey building comprising apart-hotel use to 55 rooms and 319 student accommodation units (Sui Generis) with associated communal space. " http://preview.tinyurl.com/barnrt1 Nothing in there references sea containers though. Thanks. Like Offramp I have been puzzled by this construction and its purpose. Apart from the strange container-like units and snail like progress it also appears to have almost no windows. Seems very odd even for students. Noted the comment about the "Colindale transport hub" - a whole new way of describing a tube station with one bus stop for two local routes (opposite stop is a long way down the road). |
