Mr Bean's Space Age House Oxfordshire (Rowan Atkinson)
Prize winning design by Richard Meier & Partners Architects LLP with Berman Guedes Stretton RIBA has won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects. Built on the site of 1930s Handsmooth House near Well Place, Ipsden. The original house was a large but rather run-down building that might have been the setting for an Agatha Christie novel. At the time of videoing the house appears externally complete but is unoccupied. Access is via Urquhart Lane which is an unadopted bridleway. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier designed the new house.
The 30ft (9m) high building is described as split into two futuristic wings connected by a transparent Star Trek-style walkway.
After living so many years in a miserable bed-sit who can blame Mr Bean for wanting something more luxurious!!!
