A conceptual holiday home and mausoleum to the fictional Essex woman Julie Cope. According to Living Architecture 'specially commissioned artworks including furnishings, pots and mosaic floors celebrate the story of Julie Cope and her life in Essex. Glazed and shuttered double doors can be opened to reveal a sheltered porch overlooking the fields down to the Stour. The building has been designed to evoke the tradition of wayside and pilgrimage chapels. It belongs to a history of follies, whilst also being deeply of its own time'.
