A Room for London

A Room for London was a temporary structure located on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank.^[1] The structure, designed by architect David Kohn^[2] is described as "a one-bedroom installation"^[1] and is shaped to appear like a boat perched on top of a building.
