Transformation of a derelict coach house perched above a secluded cove. The site, with its breathtaking views of the sea, demanded a design that balanced outward drama with sheltered intimacy. The challenge was to merge these contrasting moods into a unified architectural composition.

The design celebrates the original structure’s weathered stone walls while incorporating modern materials and techniques. Large openings frame the seascape, ensuring that the views remain central to the experience of the home. The intimate courtyard provides a sheltered retreat, while the living spaces open up to the expansive sea view. Timber structures and zinc roofing complement the stone, creating a harmonious dialogue between the natural landscape and the building’s form. The result is a home that blends tradition and modernity, offering both privacy and an unrivalled connection to its coastal surroundings.
