N55 ’s Walking House took the world by storm last week as it descended on Cambridge - took a gentle stroll around our site - decided its legs were not up to the new location and had many many public press and artists clamber around inside it !  While the Walking House is currently not walking due to technical problems we are showing a video of the house in action in our Gallery space and we have an updated handbook - The Manual for Walking House   available in our Reception.  Visitors can also climb inside and experience what it might feel like to live and travel inside this prototype walking house, with its wood burning stove and waste water recycling system.

We were also featured in Frieze Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail as well as ABC News USA - Good Morning America and also live on Anglia TV News (ITV), live on Radio 2 with Chris Evans and on BBC Look East News - we even got as far as India and China in the news reporting and the You Tube video was swamped with viewers and N55’s own website crashed after 250,000 visitors.
