Copper Balconies

Shhhh... Don't tell anyone, but this is a soon to be award winning development. We've just been told we have won a top architecture award for this scheme, but cannot tell until after the ceremony next month.

It must be so secret, I don't even know what category we've won! Best copper building probably!!!!

If you're interested, we built this mixed tenure housing development in Bethnal Green, East London which is completely clad in recycled copper. It was duracell colour when it was first put up, but has calmed down a little now and over time will eventually turn green.

World Cup seems to have come to life a little today... just uploading whilst watching France losing to Mexico..
Good composition my friend. And a better day's football at the World Cup!

We won't tell... though putting it on 365 may be a bit of a give away! Lovely building, great angle.

Ha! Andy...your comment above was what I was thinking! Well, this is lovely, and I would imagine it's going to get more beautiful in time.

What an interesting metal to use as flashing. Should look good in a few year. It is like the copper flashing they use on slate roofs.

Lush, it will just look better as it ages. Congrats! I'll be round with my ladder later for some recycling of my own!
