London

This raised smoky doll house is a truly intriguing new creation of Japanese Architect Terunobu Fujimori. Having recently had the pleasure of climbing up the ladder into the Beetle’s House and sitting in it for a while, I very much want to share this opportunity with you! It is currently on display as part of 1:1 – Architects Build Small Spaces exhibition at the V&A in London, so if you have the opportunity to go and see it, do it -I can highly recommend it! The small dwelling sits in the museum’s medieval & renaissance room, high atop its pillared structure.
