Architecture and interior design thread

well good - no dining table is curious tho...

JEEZUS CHRIST.
Thats dead nice.
What do these people do for a living when that was their intended weekend retreat?

"Designers" thats defo not where their money comes from.

I only had a quick look, and I quite rate 31/44 as designers, but pretty meh about that house...

Really like this one and it’s in Norfolk

I kinda like what 31/44 did with this, but there are a number of things about it which push my buttons.

Before starting the work, ‘we spent two summers in a camper van in the field, getting a feel for the land’, he says.

I mean great if you had time for that but normal people don't.

The 450 sq m steel-framed barn, which had been built around 1990, had little historical interest or architectural distinction but local planners stipulated that its frame had to be retained.

Planners are such dumbos. They literally had to build a house shaped like a barn from 1990 because the planners couldn't bear to let them change it. Ridiculous. It's an architectural solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. Have the planners been watching Clueless or something?

(If you don't get the reference - https://iamnotastalker.wordpress.com/2008/10/03/isnt-my-house-classic-the-columns-date-all-the-way-back-to-1972/)

they were fastidious about the fixtures, fittings and detailing of their project, such as the colour of the ply (whitewash rather than yellow)

So fastidious to not want 70s style yellow wood, lol.

Luke and Klara initially planned to use the house just as a retreat for weekends and holidays, but as the project neared completion in early 2020, they decided instead to relocate there full-time, just before the UK went into its first lockdown.

Such a smug final paragraph! Fuck off.
