Jamie Fobert Architects’ sensitive restructuring has smoothly linked up the new spaces to the original house and the 1970s extension
Views of Kettle’s Yard House
Art collectors Jim and Helen Ede donated Kettle’s Yard to the University of Cambridge in 1966. The house contains works by Constantin Brancusi, Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, David Jones and Christopher Wood amongst others

Jim Ede’s vision, established as early as 1954, was to create ‘...a living place where works of art would be enjoyed, inherent to the domestic setting, where young people could be at home unhampered by the greater austerity of the museum or public art gallery.’

Ede’s vision is encapsulated at Kettle’s Yard where contemporary art is displayed beside pictures, glass, china, carpets, ceramics, furniture and much more, including natural objects such as stones, shells and feathers
