Shingle House in Kent by NORD Architects
The company Living Architecture has approached a number of renowned world architects (Peter Zumthor, MVRDV, NORD Architecture, Hopkins Architects, and Jarmund/Vigsnæs Architects) to design holiday homes for them in the English countryside. After the sparkling Balancing Barn by MVRDV was made available in the autumn, two more houses are now being completed: the Dune House in the village of Thopeness by the Norwegian studio JVA and the Shingle House by the Scottish office NORD.
All designs are based on the traditional shape of a house with a gabled roof and place a strong emphasis on communication with their surroundings.
The Shingle House is located on the Dungeness coast in the English county of Kent. It is the second completed house of the Living Architecture project, which aims to allow people to experience what it is like to live, eat, and sleep in a space designed by a good architect. The Shingle House resembles the ubiquitous fishing huts in its shape. The structure consists of three sections of varying heights and is complemented by two smaller light cabins. The dark-painted vertical cladding of the house with wooden slats creates a contrast with the stony beach. The interior of the black cabin shines in white. The house, which accommodates a total of eight people, can be rented starting this October.
