Kevin's View

Kevin On Site, Sussex: The Modernist Sugar Cube

This house, I think, looks rather beautiful. From a distance, it's a perfect little sugar lump of a building, in perfect proportion to everything around it.

'...From directly in front, it does tower over its neighbours.'

'But the strength of feeling it's provoked surprises me. I'm sure that where some see a monstrosity, others see an updated modernist classic.'

'I'm relieved the house works as well as it does inside. Despite the all-white interior, it doesn't feel cold or clinical, and there's a good balance between home and art gallery. It's full of exciting shapes and modern comforts, and it's been put together with great panache.'

  1. My poetry group have accepted my request to write about sugar lumps in September. I shall be writing about this amazingly beautiful house alongwith the sugar lump houses in Mojacar, Spain. I'll send a copy when it's written

  4. I loved the white/glass floor tiles. Can you tell me where you acquired them from, and how they are coping with daily use?
