Summary

Pathe synopsis: A futuristic looking-glass bubble construction naturally gives rise to much local speculation. No exception is a novel studio built by architect Hugh Pope in his garden at Kingston Hill, Surrey. The 150 triangular windows are fitted inside with removable insulating panels - giving as much light as you want, wherever you want it.
