Sky House: A New Approach to High Rise Living in London's Docklands

Sky House is a new high-rise living concept designed by the architects of the London Eye. It aims to address London's affordable housing shortage with high-density apartment blocks, avoiding the design flaws of 1960s tower blocks. The project combines housing with amenities like shops and health clubs, using renewable energy and eco-friendly construction.
