THE scaffolding surrounding a house Tuner Prize winner artist Grayson Perry is designing in Essex came down this week.
Described as a "secular chapel", the holiday home in Wrabness will be revealed in full as part of a Channel 4 show, Grayson's Great Design, next year.
The programme will follow the project's trials and tribulations over a year as Perry attempts to bring the project in on time and on budget.
The artist, who won the Turner Prize in 2003 and is a former pupil of King Edward VI Grammar School, designed the house with the inspiration of the "single mums in Dagenham, hairdressers in Colchester, and the landscape and history of Essex".
The gaudy-looking property, funded by Living Architecture, is causing consternation.
It features a tiled facade, with statues and images set into the tiles, and a roof with a brass finish.
The design is said to be a far more sober than his original design, created while "doodling wildly and quite drunkenly in front of the TV".
