Analysis of Kennixton Farmhouse
2023
Digital drawings, Cardboard paper


Built in 1610, the farmhouse was for inhabitants
with superstitions. They painted their house red 
and added carved figures to the door to cut out 
evil spirits. The architecture became protected 
not by the stone wall, timber structures, and layers 
of hay, but the thin layer of red paint itself. 

To explore this, series of plan and section drawings
highlight the significance of ‘red’ to the farmhouse, 
and a 1:20 cardboard model to portray how 
that ‘red’ could be physicalised to understand the 
“thickness” of the thinness.
