Wickstead Lodge
This beautiful house was built on a site which was previously occupied by a typical vernacular house, includes an electronically moving wall which can cover a large window on the facade.
The site had various planning constraints which included the new building could only have small windows like its predecessor. This lead the architects to think of imaginative solutions to allow the interior spaces to have as much natural light as possible.
The moving wall not only allows the interior to be flooded with light when open, but also provides a beautiful effect at night when closed (see below!).
