The brief for this project was to design a full re-build to an existing cottage. Traditional lines towards the street played homage to the area’s beach cottages, accompanied by modern elements and natural materials, providing a contemporary twist. Towards the back, the house merges into a modern barn design with expressed raked ceilings and use of natural timbers both externally and internally. This house is blessed with plenty of natural light and great flow via different focal points throughout the project.
