Tony Fretton Architects - The Red House, Chelsea, London

The Red House, Chelsea, London 

As in a Dutch canal house or Venetian palazzo, the Red House offers a formal, composed facade to the street through which private life is brought discreetly into contact with the life of the city. Incomplete references to other familiar buildings and adjustments to the interior rooms’ formal themes capture the unexpected beauty of chance relationships. The rooms of the house are not fully fixed in purpose in order to make themselves available to personal experience and interpretation.
