EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this entrance floor plan of Rowton House, located on Arlington Road in Camden, north west London. Dating back to 1905, this Edwardian building was a charitable institution established to provide affordable accommodation for working men experiencing poverty. Upon entering, visitors would find themselves in the entrance hall, leading to dormitory cubicles and reading rooms. The entrance floor, slightly elevated from the ground floor, was designed to allow natural light to filter in through the central wings of the E-shaped building, thanks to the clever inclusion of skylights. The Rowton House was a significant historical building in its time, offering a social safety net for men in need. Its design was thoughtfully planned, with the ground floor laid below the entrance, ensuring privacy and a sense of community for its residents. This intricately detailed drawing offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty and benevolent intentions of the Rowton House. The building's wings, with their skylights, create an open and inviting atmosphere, while the cubicles and reading rooms provide a sense of structure and comfort. As you explore this floor plan, imagine the countless men who found solace and support within the walls of the Rowton House over the years. This architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the power of charitable giving and the importance of affordable housing in our communities.
