Midnight
At My TV
This is one of the most ambitious homes ever seen on GrandDesigns - a scaly, curving house that's reminiscent of a giantcoiled snake. Stephen Tetlow is head of the Institution ofMechanical Engineers. Stephen's wife Elizabeth is a committedhorticulturalist. Together they want to build a home thatreflects their passions - one that pushes Stephen's engineeringskills to the limit and embraces Elizabeth's deep affinity withnature. Taking inspiration from an ammonite shell found ontheir land in the beautiful Blackdown Hills in Devon, thehouse spirals onto the landscape over two levels and mixesnatural materials with cutting edge technology. Construction ofsuch a complex curving structure proves a huge challenge andprogress is tortuously slow.
