Falmouth-based interior designer Kathryn Tyler of Linea Studio has designed and built her own house, the Corkellis House.

Located in Falmouth, a town on the south coast of Cornwall, England, and completed in 2010, the Corkellis House is a mix of modern architecture with Mid-Century Scandinavian furniture.

According to Channel 4, “Kathryn’s original plan to use her skills to build her own house on a tight hillside plot in her mum and dad’s back garden in Falmouth, were put on hold when her father died. Now Kathryn has revived those plans and designed a Scandinavian-inspired Eco-house to fit into this extremely limited plot.

Although built from quite conventional materials, the house itself is far from normal. With a white painted brick ground floor, and a lightweight timber frame first floor, this cubist shell provides the interior designer a chance to show off her flair inside, with cleverly designed zones and beautifully displayed vintage Danish furniture.”
