Century House: A Taller Simpler Contemporary Building with Bold Presence

Century House 5

Century House is a residential scheme located in London, UK. The original plan of this residence is not satisfying the owner at all. That’s why Make Architects was asked to give a good alternative to it. With an extensive work and depth analysis, Century House finally becomes a striking building which is simpler and taller with its bold presence.
