Crescent House is a multi-award-winning home in Wilshere, England, by Make Architects, that completed construction in 2000. It is significant in the world of architecture and design as it serves as a leading example of how imaginative forms can equal or better the typical box-shaped construction most architects innovate around. When featuring a home design such as this, you can quickly run out of superlatives – so let’s jump right in and take a look.
The accommodation is formed by two nested crescents connected by a curving circulation and gallery space that runs the length of the building. The outer crescent contains bedrooms, bathrooms and private living areas and turns a solid convex wall to the nearby road, while the inner crescent is a more intimate sanctum devoted to cooking, eating and relaxing.
A full-height concave glass wall fills the home with natural light and provides panoramic views of the garden. The interior design compliments the natural light with use of whites and yellows to offer brightness and the feeling of sunshine on those classic English rainy days. The arms of the inner crescent extend to frame the view, offering privacy and enclosure without confinement.
Unique and innovative architecture, large glazed walls that bring light and nature into the home, combined with subtle and stylish furniture and color schemes, makes Crescent House a truly Modern Dream Home.

What a superb must-have residence. Truly the pinnacle of modern tasteful design. So many features that are unique, that a comprehensive description is not really possible. Only a personal visit surely can fill in the many wonders of design and construction.
Extremely well done! The address says “Wishere” (UK) Is this not ‘Wiltshire?’ Would cherish a visit. John Morrell
