Fall in Love With This British Architect’s Colorful Weekend Retreat
The English Channel getaway turns its attention to the sea, and takes inspiration from Case Study Houses and postwar brutalism.
Were it not for its bright red chimney, Toot Rise would blend perfectly into the rural sandstone hill on which it is built. But this stainless-steel cylinder pierces the chestnut-clad house like a sharp new pencil satisfyingly pushed through the lid of a shoebox. It is at once a deliberate signpost and the final flourish of British architect Nick Evans, who designed the two-story structure in East Sussex as a weekend home for himself and his family.
