This was the best I could do. Unfortunately we got carried away at Tiffany & Co and got to the Guggenheim just as it was closing.

The Atrium Cafe just off Glasgow's Byre's Road didn't have any Danish pastries today, so I tried their squidgy lemon sponge. It was very squidgy, very lemony and it won my heart.

Paxton Locher House
Paxton Locher Architects, 1995
The Design - The house was built in 1995/96 by the architects Richard Paxton and Heidi Locher for themselves and their two children. After an initial plan for a theatre was shelved, Paxton and Locher acquired the Clerkenwell Green site, with plans for four flats and an office at the front of the site and a single house at the rear. The flats were sold to finance the development. The ground floor and basement office was originally accessible from the house and was used by Paxton Locher Architects, before also being sold.
The main part of the house is designed around a double height atrium, with the principal bedrooms on the first floor above the living areas. Daylight enters through a glass roof which retracts in fine weather, converting the atrium into an outside courtyard space. A sensor automatically closes the roof when it rains. By eliminating the need for conventional windows, this unusual design enables the residential use of a difficult site hemmed in on all sides by neighbouring buildings.
The second floor (originally the children’s bedrooms) is also lit from above by two original skylights at each end and a hydraulic hinged roof which gives access to the roof terrace.
The present owner has refurbished the house, respecting Paxton Locher’s original aims of maximising natural light and making efficient use of all available space. The project included complete refurbishment of the retractable roof by Monty Ravenscroft, who designed it originally for Paxton Locher, and the remodelling of the terrace and floor below to incorporate the hydraulic hinged rooflight, also designed and installed by Monty’s company Meia. Other design features are glass basins inspired by the Paxton Locher originals, and internal walls made from switchable glass to increase natural light to the bathrooms, both designed and built by 800 Group.

The atrium at Munich University where Hans and Sophie Scholl were caught distributing anti-Nazi leaflets and then arrested by the Gestapo.
We found a secret, quiet refuge at the top of the flower shop. Others attempted to join us there, but the entrance was not entirely intuitive. They were probably also dissuaded by some of the signs leading there like, "No Entry", "Employees Only", "Ware The Leopard", and "Only Cooler People Than You Allowed Past This Point."
