Westham House, left, and Wedgewood House form one of the many pairs of tower blocks on the North Solihull skyline. The white and grey colouring makes them seem less substantial. No cladding in sight, only concrete. A successful balance has been struck between landscaped open space, lots of it, for people, and more naturalistic management of the river corridor: http://www.solihull.gov.uk/Portals/0/StrategiesPlansPolicies/LandscapeandEcology/Nature_Conservation_Strategy.pdf pages 8-9.
