Dungeness, on the Kent coast, has long championed pioneering architecture, welcoming the distinctive black and yellow home of the artist and film-maker Derek Jarman. But a proposal for a house clad in the rusty scrawls of the millionaire artist Mr Doodle has tested the open-mindedness of those who live there – and failed to win over the parish council.
Mr Doodle, whose real name is Sam Cox, lives in Doodle House, a six-bedroom home in Tenterden, elsewhere in Kent, that is covered inside and out in his trademark monochrome squiggles. The design was described by the Guardian at the time as “like stepping inside a migraine”.
