Paul Archer Design has shared photos of a home they completed in Wivenhoe, England, for an artist who wanted a light-filled interior with room to work and to entertain.

The exterior of the home features a double-gable roof, timber cladding in a dark color, and metal cladding on the roof, while the interior has different ceiling levels, creating a lower ceiling towards the front, with the house opening to a double-height vaulted space to the rear.

An unexpected design detail is the kitchen with its pink cabinets, which are complemented by white countertops and floating wood shelves.
