Shouldn't we all be developers? by Roger Zogolovitch explores how Solidspace has carved a name for itself, transforming unpromising areas into award-winning properties

现代伦敦正被一群庞大的开发公司所塑造，他们都能获得巨大的土地、伟大的建筑人才组合以及将砖头和灰泥转化为瞬间、史诗般的利润的诡计多端的诀窍。但我们其他人呢？在他的新书中，开发人员RogerZogolovitch恳求我们大家重新审视保持小规模的艺术。

zogolovitch的公司Solidspace通过与笨拙的、紧凑的网站合作，以及一个紧张的、设计驱动的焦点，从他们与dRMM的第一个主要项目到最近与Groves Natcheva、MW建筑师和Stephen Taylor的合作，为自己树立了一个名字。Zogolovitch的理论是，小规模的开发商-无论他们是第一次购房者、住房收藏家、雄心勃勃的建筑师，还是仅仅是具有远见卓识的当代设计迷-最适合让这座城市成为一个宜居的、人性化的地方。

除了以崭新的方式重投整个地区的大型网站外，Solidspace及其类似公司正在挖掘“被遗忘者的领地”，利用创新设计将毫无希望的事物转化为获奖网站，并希望让整个项目都以自己的方式付出代价。这种寻找地点、挑选人才和建造建筑物的小而美丽的方法已经取得了一些显著的成果。如果你渴望一份新的职业，这可能是一个很好的开始。

From the book: Case study 1: Centaur Street, forgotten land of the railway viaduct in Waterloo, 2000. Solidspace appointed dRMM architects for the development

Centaur Street was completed in 2003, a development of three zones including four-metre wide bathrooms, balconies and winter gardens

The interior of the Centaur Street development, which includes internal stairs linking levels

Case study 2: Stapleton Hall Road when it was purchased in 2006. The development, by architect Stephen Taylor, began in 2012

Stapleton Hall Road after its transformation in 2014: a butterfly plan 'eat live work' arrangement

Stapleton Hall Road interior – the build is arranged over seven half levels, rising around the stair

Case study 3: Solidspace purchased this space on Donaldson Road in 2004. The area was originally was used for parking and housed an electricity sub-station

The Groves Natcheva practice was appointed to build a detached family home – the Zog House – pictured here

Zog House has a triple height void, affording views of the upper levels of the house and the sky
