dRMM - Sliding house

London architects dRMM have designed a house with mobile walls and roof that can be moved to cover and uncover parts of the dwelling. The mobile element, which is 28 metres long and weighs 50 tons, move along rails set into the ground. “the Sliding House is an extended bravura performance of life-enhancing design possibilities”.

About dRMM

Alex de Rijke, Philip Marsh and Sadie Morgan founded dRMM, a London-based studio of international architects and designers, in 1995. Now a team of about 20, the practice takes pride in only carrying out work that is innovative, high quality and socially useful. They have a track record of creating extraordinary architecture within the standard constraints of the construction industry. Their radical projects are led by site, client needs, concept and construction, rather than formulaic or style-based decisions. The team defines its approach as economy of means, expressive of use, materials and construction: an architecture of ‘maximalism’.
