An inventive home I visited during Open House weekend
Each year inaccessible buildings in London open their doors to strangers to look around. I visited a few buildings but was particularly taken by Monty Ravenscroft's self-build house in Peckham. Monty is an inventor/film maker who designs large sliding glass roofs and also created lots of inventions within his very space efficient house.
It was like walking around a larger version of our Kinematic Apartment project! There was a draw which turned into a sink, a bath under the bed, a mechanism taken from a land rover which opens the large rooflights and some clever three-dimensional manipulation of space and light to make the house a inventive joy!
