It set a new standard for high-density, sustainable urban living (there's a model in the V&A museum). <br />I moved here in 2010 and love the individuality of the space, the ease of getting into the centre of London, and the wild outdoors right on the doorstep.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />This is my home.
