OAST HOUSE CONSTRUCTION

The Oast House in Kent is finally taking shape, with the structural framing of the five oasts visible for the first time. The house has been designed as a 21st century interpretation of the formal language of Kentish Oast Houses. The five towers are slightly separated from each other, creating inward-looking spaces in each tower and a more outward-looking central space opening out into the surrounding apple orchard. Each of the towers houses private functions such as bathrooms, bedrooms and service spaces, and framed window openings allow for framed views over the adjacent apple orchards.
