FAT (as known as Fashion Architecture Taste) just unveiled construction images of their project Middlehaven that they are building in collaboration with

Middlehaven is a major regeneration scheme for a former industrial docklands in Middlesbrough.
This project consists of a
Community in a Cube (CIAC) building with 80 residential units and commercial or retail tenancies at ground level.
The design meets a range of targets, including the aspirations of the masterplan, construction efficiency and providing lifestyle choices for future residents, the architects say.
The BQL One Planet Living principles underpin all aspects of the development, which will meet and exceed the EcoHomes Excellent rating.
CIAC is due to be completed in 2012.
