Andrew Salter’s home in Kent, England

Originally a small farm storage building adjoining a 15th century chapel, it was deconstructed and rebuilt in a nearby field with exactly the same proportions.

The interior walls are rough-sawn pine, and floors are locally-grown sweet chestnut. Records sound wonderful in there. I’ve been working on it for about three years, and dug out a garden by hand. I'm building a porch, hence the unpainted section on the front.

“I was by myself for a pretty long time. I needed to do that. I think everyone that I know has wanted to do that or needed to do that at some point. I think when you spend enough time when it’s quiet around you and you don’t open your mouth for three or four days, there’s parts of your brain that can kind of rest. I think when we’re out in the world and we have to talk to people, we edit ourselves. You know, we have to like, act a little bit. As honest as we may be as humans, when we’re out here, we’re all kind of wearing mirrors on our faces. You know, constantly reacting to how to react to the people around you. And I think when you’re alone for a long enough time, you can feel a lot more peace.”
