Dezeen Debate features “gorgeous” screen-wrapped house in Kent

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features a screen-wrapped house in Kent designed to be taken over by nature as plants grow up its perforated-steel facade. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now. 

Informed by rattan weavings, British practice Giles Miller Studio devised a repeating pattern of twisting, diamond-shaped modules for the facade of Woven House, which sits on a sloped site near the Broadstairs coastline.

Commenters were enamoured by the dwelling, calling it “gorgeous”, “really well done” and a “lovely little holiday home”.

Other stories sparking debate in this week’s newsletter include the rejection of plans to demolish Marks & Spencer’s Oxford Street flagship, Twitter’s controversial X rebrand and the design of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic torch.
