3 Howell Close,Newport
Tucked within a level cul-de-sac near Newport's beachfront, design buffs will easily recognise the low-slung profile of The Gridhouse; inspired by the California Modern movement of 50s and 60s, its clean, geometric lines are bold, innovative and quietly dazzling.
Featured in a number of design publications, the considered layout is simple and sophisticated; set to a precise grid, every beam, door and window aligns to a clear structural order, giving the home both its name and its sense of cohesion. At the centre, an internal atrium draws light into the core of the house, allowing it to move through the surrounding spaces. The home has been carefully maintained and sympathetically updated with the assistance of Trace Architecture, preserving and celebrating its original design intent while firmly anchoring it in the present.
