British artist Grayson Perry and London architecture firm FAT [Charles Holland] designed this house/gallery in Essex -- a reference to playful whimsical follies of French architects of the 18th century or the British notion of a fantasy structure built for the garden. "The exterior of the house responds to this contemporary romantic landscape, forming something that is both ancient and modern, archetypal and imbued with narrative," said architect Charles Holland of FAT. "It is a hybrid building, part house and part gallery." The exterior is clad in ceramic tiles.
