Project Orange’s West Stow Lodge has a pared-back interior



  • West Stow Lodge was designed by London architects Project Orange for a family with three young children in a village near Bury St Edmunds.
  • To emphasise the sense of visual continuity throughout West Stow Lodge, Project Orange spaced the mullions of all the windows evenly, at 600-millimetre intervals.
  • Oak joinery, white-painted bricks, and concrete flooring were used to make the interior of this new house in Suffolk, England, more contemporary than its traditional pitched-roof exterior (+ slideshow).
  • “The interior materials echo the exterior, and are intended very much as an honest expression of the construction,” said Ash.
  • “Within this setting, the house can be seen as a nuanced, contemporary exploration of the domestic vernacular architecture in Suffolk,” said Ash.
