Friendship House, London SE1
Architect: MacCormac Jamieson Prichard
Photo: Peter Durant - Arcblue.com
Client: London Hostels Association
Awards: RIBA Award


Viewed from the railway, Friendship House presents a wall of zinc shingles punctuated by peephole windows. It provides a welcome contrast to the drab surroundings and invites closer inspection. It turns out to be a hostel for 160 young working people and students and fulfills this need very well.
