For today, we'll be looking at Wickstead Lodge by Baynes & Co.
Check it out!
A electronically controlled stone wall slides across the facade of this house in Warwickshire, England, to conceal a large window.
The moving wall was created to overcome a planning requirement stating that the new house should have only small windows, like its predecessor.
Narrow gaps in the stonework let light pass through the wall into the dining room behind.
The whole of this lower floor was also set just below ground level so that the two-storey house wouldn’t be taller than permitted.
