Conjuring space for the homeless

The first part of the refurbishment project at Beacon House in Victoria London has been completed by Bramante Architects for their client the Look Ahead Housing Association. Television rooms, a surgery, toilets and a reading room are now available for the hostel for the homeless which will be used by residents who have mental and health problems. Plywood benches have been fitted into rooms lined with beech-plywood panels, to use space in the most efficient manner.
