A book about a famous house
Kew House was shortlisted for House of the Year 2015 and appeared on Grand Designs, the house has won multiple architectural and structural awards and opens its doors for Open House London on a regular basis.
This project involves a series of limited-edition handmade books detailing the process, from concept to completion, behind the house. The front cover features an in-house laser cut design, reminiscent of the Corten steel shell of the house.
The client and owner of the property is a structural engineer and the house has a heavy focus on the engineering and structural elements of design, giving the final design of the house a very industrial aesthetic, therefore screw-binding was ultimately chosen as a way to reflect this.
The book was available to visitors at Open City London 2015 and 2016, with a limited number of copies being sold to raise money for Bridges to Prosperity in 2016.
