The Front of This House Is Sliding Onto the Street
It’s like an architectural interpretation of Dalí.
The façade of a house in an English seaside town has peeled away and slid right onto the street.
British designer Alex Chinneck removed the front of a dilapidated four-story house in Margate, England, and replaced it with a new front that "slips down" to meet the ground. Chinneck spent a year convincing companies to sponsor materials for the installation. It took just six weeks to assemble everything from prefabricated panels.
