Designed by BPN Architects, the mirrored single-story home just hit the market for £2M.
Text by

Location: Moreton Paddox, Warwickshire

Architecture: Steve Smith and BPN Architects

Price: £2,000,000 (approximately $2,295,000 USD)

Footprint: 3,171 square feet (four bedrooms, five bath)

From the Agent: "This extraordinary contemporary house in Warwickshire was conceived and designed by the current owner, Steve Smith, who worked alongside BPN Architects to explore reflection as an organizing principle. Granted planning permission as an example of exceptional and unique architecture, the design seeks to deconstruct the elements of a traditional home and distil them into individual components. With over 3,000 square feet of accommodation, each room is set within an individual mirrored pavilion, raised slightly above ground, creating the illusion of a floating series of interconnected rooms."

Nestled on a secluded plot, the four-bedroom home is surrounded by trees and densely planted ferns.

Each of the four bedrooms opens directly to the garden via massive sliders. The beds rest on a central column, which makes them appear to float.

In contrast with the home’s all-white interior, an open-air seating area near the entrance features dark louvered walls and black resin flooring. Three strips of light run across the ceiling, drawing the eye toward an old tree in the garden.
