A Room for London was a temporary structure located on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank.[1] The structure, designed by architect David Kohn[2] is described as "a one-bedroom installation" and is shaped to appear like a boat perched on top of a building.
The structure was put in place in 2012 and acted as a "single-room, boat-shaped hotel",[3] available to be booked for single-night residencies. It was closed in mid 2016.
A Room for London is one of a number of projects by Living Architecture, a not-for-profit holiday home rental company founded by philosopher and writer Alain de Botton.
