Paperhouse by Heatherwick Studio

Paperhouse1

Heatherwick Studio has completed a series of brass newspaper kiosks in London.

The kiosks open by rotating the front sections around the structure, allowing vendors to set their stock more efficiently.

They are made of wood coated in patinated brass, supported by a steel frame. A glazed band at the top allows natural light into the kiosks during the day and is illuminated at night.
