Dig this: Lipton Plant reimagines a WWII bunker as a holiday home on England's Jurassic Coast
A unique restoration is turning an old war relic into an offbeat holiday destination on England’s Jurassic Coast thanks to the work of
Lipton Plant Architects
.
The London-based firm, which specializes in residential projects, has been granted planning approval for a scheme that would transform a Grade II-listed bunker from the Second World War into a private abode for vacationers with a
Paul Virilio
-esque palette.
The restoration will entail the conversion of the former RAF radio squadron bunker into a two-bedroom retreat thanks to the installation of a glazed “bomb blast” opening and renovation of its 76-square-meter interior complete with exposed original concrete walls, a terrace patio, and full kitchen.

Per the architects: “We hope to celebrate the significant historic yet redundant structure as a historic ruin. By ‘blasting’ a new opening in the elevation, not only can the space be enjoyed as a holiday home, but views of the coast are revealed.”
The firm had to undergo a full redesign after the bunker was granted heritage status
midway through
the planning process.

"In our view it is better that a historic structure such as this should at least be appreciated by members of the public in its updated form than never to be seen when tucked away in a wood on private land,” one local councilor
told
DorsetLive
.
The bunker is located in the village of Ringstead, near the historic Pitt Cottage. Completion is slated for May of next year.
