@UKDecline Lavinia Jacobs, daughter of tycoon Klaus Jacobs, paid £15 million for the three-storey, six-bedroom house in a leafy estate overlooking Richmond Park in September 2016 (left). Knocked it down and build her home that's similar to the one she has in Switzerland.

Ollier Smurthwaite@OS_Architects
We are developing some proposals for a modern mansion block with taller ceilings, more windows, better communal areas and a private garden. We’ve been researching Albert Hall Mansions and Richard Norman Shaw who is credited with making flats desirable to the aspiring Victorian middle classes @archi_tradition @Aesthetic_City @createstreets

That would be, as they say, a "win win".

Put solar panels on car parks rather than plastering them on thousands of acres of prime farmland. It’s a hell of a lot more logical.

Trains are good for cities, for their productivity & their joy, their purpose & their efficacy
