Kevin's View

Kevin McCloud, Berkshire: The Cruciform House

'This is a really friendly house that reaches out into the landscape and the world outside, grabs it and brings it indoors'.

'It doesn't just live in its natural setting - it lives up to it'.

  1. The crescent shaped house featured in the programme is known as exactly that. It was designed, built and owned by the architect Ken Shuttleworth (former senior partner at Foster Associates) and architect of the Axe building in London, the Millenium Bridge, Hong Kong airport (amongst others). Look him up by name on Wikipedia.

  4. The half moon shaped house featured on this program is built just outside of Calne on the A4 towards Marlborough and is visible on Google Earth, to the north of the A4. It is now owned by someone who protects his privacy and all you can see from the road is a breeze block wall...

  6. In this episode, the couple are taken to see another house that appears to be a large half moon shaped white house with lots of glass panes as the "inner walls" of the half moon. Does anyone know where i can find more info on that house ? Any information would be extremely helpful as i think i am in love with the house.
