The Possible Impossible Pavilion, The installation challenges traditional construction methods by utilizing Build-Lite’s Stone-Coat material, an innovative ultra-light polystyrene-based imitation stone. This ground-breaking material allows Morris to create a vibrant and joyful structure that would be costly and difficult to achieve using conventional building materials.

One of Peter Morris’s remarkable achievements is The Cloud House, currently under construction in Gospel Oak, London. This unique and curvaceous building, being filmed for Grand Designs, showcases his creative prowess. The Cloud House incorporates the innovative use of Build-Lite’s Stone-Coat, an ultra-light polystyrene-based imitation stone material that can be shaped into arches and other intricate designs.

Drawing inspiration from the eccentric Grade I listed St Martin’s Church opposite; The Cloud House brings a touch of flamboyance to its surroundings. Its pink hue and duck egg blue metalwork create a striking contrast against the eclectic architecture of the area.
