Structural work has just wrapped up on “A House for Essex,” a vacation home designed by the Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry and the London architecture firm FAT for Alain de Botton’s Living Architecture project. Botton, a well-known writer and philosopher, launched Living Architecture to promote the enjoyment of world-class modern architecture. A series of influential architects have been chosen to design houses for the project. Located around Britain, the abodes will be available to rent for holidays year-round.
Plans for “A House for Essex,” which sits on a plot surrounded by meadows on the east coast of England, were first revealed in 2012.
