Architect Lincoln Miles and artist Lisa Traxler approached A.J Wells during the building of their home in 2009/10. They wanted to clad a section of the house in enamel with an applied artwork by Lisa.

The house was originally a 1960s bungalow that Lincoln ‘upcycled’ adding a ground floor living space and a 3 story wooden tower.

A.J Wells surveyed the property then fabricated a series of tray panels in white enamel. Lisa was then allocated an area of studio space within the factory to create her artwork with access to inks, tools and expertise.

The panels were fired and then installed using power magnets to seamlessly hold the cladding in place. The couple also installed a Cove wood-burning stove from A.J Wells’ sister company Charnwood.

This spectacular project was filmed for Channel 4’s Grand Designs.
