“A meeting of art and architecture”
On the wild southern coast of the Isle of Wight, a former World War II bunker nestles before the dramatic backdrop of the Undercliff escarpment in St Lawrence, near Ventnor. Resting on an acre plot and surrounded by SSSI conservation land, The Bunker looks out uninterrupted to the Channel and mainland Europe beyond. It is the beautifully realised concept designed by Lincoln Miles and his partner, the artist Lisa Traxler. In a meeting of art and architecture, the house makes the most of its breath-taking position with technical, material and aesthetic innovation throughout. The result is a superb home of around 3,000 sq ft that incorporates the existing concrete bunker as a stunning gallery space. In addition, two Nissen huts have been repurposed as studio workspaces and occasional rentals.
