My own Leicester residence, built in a conservation area and listed in Pevsner's "The Buildings of England" 1984 edition. With a strictly limited budget, the challenge was to econ- omise with a simple foundation geometry while creating an articulated roof complexity.  Thus a community of mini- towers.  The fenestration partly paid homage to James Stirling's nearby Leicester University Science Labs. The first floor studio and bedroom deck were shortened to allow a two storey vertical space for the living area below.  The cubist interlocking spaces were articulated with a planed telephone-pole post/column and a stainless steel fireplace flue. Dark red brick, with coloured grout, punctuated by dark fenestration offers the impression of a continual 'skin' of cladding, emphasising the plasticity of an economic geometry.
