Damien Hirst—noted as Britain’s richest living artist—is perhaps best known for his provocative and at times controversial art. The respected artist is turning his creative tendencies to funding and designing a home development in the city of Ilfracombe.
Five hundred homes will be built on the land, much of which is owned by Hirst himself. The homes are outfitted with wind turbines and solar panels—hidden inside the roof. Focus will also be placed on natural light and efficient insulation.
