There are some houses so tied to a person that it’s hard to imagine anyone else living there and Rydal Mount, the Lake District house that William Wordsworth lived in from 1813 until his death in 1850, is just one of those. This is mainly due to the fact that since 1969, when Wordsworth’s great-great-granddaughter bought it back into the family, his descendants have been running it as a museum.

When we think of walls within houses, we think of straight lines. Sometimes higgledy-piggledy and bumpy from being made of wattle and daub, but always at least attempting to divide rooms in a rectilinear fashion. Every now and then, however, a curved wall appears to take us by surprise and they can be a thing of architectural delight.

The loft, which is part of a 1990s industrial building, has a wide variety of functions to support.
