Looking Glass Lodge: A Woodland Holiday Home Designed to Blend Into Protected Nature
By
Erin Miller
Summary
Michael Kendrick Architects designed Looking Glass Lodge, a small holiday home in East Sussex's High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The lodge is wrapped in western red cedar, hidden from view, and designed to blend into protected woodland while offering guests uninterrupted tree views through large picture windows. The building appears to float among the trees as the land drops away beneath it, with every design decision focused on minimizing environmental impact and preserving the natural setting.
