For the second film in our series, Homing In, our co-founder, Matt Gibberd, journeys to rural Kent to explore the theme of light with artist duo Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell in their luminous, self-built eco-home. As with each of the films in the series, we aim to show how adherence to five key design principles - space, light, materials, nature and decoration - allows you, in Matt’s words, “to live a better and more fulfilled life.”
In Ben and Nikki's home, light shines brightest. In fact, the space has been designed to facilitate their daily migrations and the changing light that moves with them throughout the house. And as artists, they know precisely what kind of light they want to usher into their home and how to achieve the desired level of illumination at any given hour of the day.

The gentle nature of Ben and Nikki while guiding us through this purely beautiful home was very moving to me. And yes 'relationship' was a theme: the soft hues of the gentle landscape uninterrupted by Untitled white walls, mutual enhancement of interior, exterior and natural landscape all around, all flowing together.

Beautiful film Modern House. Fantastic artists who have created an interior perfect for them and their lifestyle. So envious of the blowing meadow-land outside and peace...

So interesting and informative, Thank you. The beauty of the textured, moving grasses against the static white interior is lovely, I find. Bright, but not harsh, and a perfect balance of calm and lively.

I am not a minimalist, but this is beautiful. Clean, considered lines joining the inside and outside, framing nature.

Really love how they let the exterior wood get washed out so it fits into its context. Newer houses can at times look out of place in the country, but this fits seemlessly, like an ode to the old shack they demolished.

Beautiful home and works; and thank you for producing and sharing this piece covering them and their work. Truly the two of them are what makes Untitled magical. ❤

A bit of colour on the walls in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom perhaps? Love those oak shutters sliding behind the walls.

I like the open spaces, however, I have big windows and I live in a rural area and trying to keep all those windows clean and the birds away from smashing into them would be a big problem. They mention bats swooping around the windows that's because the light from the home attracts bugs to eat and from my experience when the bats swoop in they also go poop and splatter it across the windows. Not something I would have thought about in the past when I lived in the city but out in the countryside it sure is hard keeping the windows clean.

Exactly my thoughts, and it would drive me mad. But it's a beautiful space and obviously they like it.
