Other Information

Skyhouse is David Marks and Julia Barfield's answer to the housing shortage in the UK designed to provide affordable housing for all.
The lack of a willing developer to put money up and barely make a penny has seen the project face set-back after set back.
Original plans called for a 72 floor tower of 305m but this was cut back due to economic considerations.
One plan for Skyhouse was to build them on the Greenwich Peninsula in parkland linking every Skyhouse together with tramlines and NO roads.
