Peter Salter - Walmer Yard

An extensive and engaging study of award-winning architect Peter Salter's first ever residential project‰ۢ Features specially commissioned photographs by H̩l̬ne BinetBook design by Archigram founder member Dennis CromptonWalmer Yard in London is the first residential building in Britain designed by architect Peter Salter. The culmination of ten years of planning the project makes physical the ideas and forms that Salter has developed over the last three decades. Although modest in scale the project is extraordinary in many ways. On an irregularly shaped site Salter s design brings four houses into a complex relationship with each other half-formal half-familiar interdependent yet solitary. Similarly the relations among the core team who developed the design are more nuanced than in most architectural projects since they all met at the Architectural Association in Peter Salter s unit where Crispin Kelly (the client) and Fenella Collingridge (Peter s current collaborator) were student contemporaries. This book documents the project with Peter Salter s original pen-and-ink drawings and H̩l̬ne Binet s extraordinary photographs.
