About Harbour House
A Contemporary Coastal Gem in a Natural Paradise
Nestled next to the coastal path, this striking handmade house is meticulously designed to honor its pristine surroundings in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Architectural Harmony: Combining Volumes and Materials
The architects designed the home as a harmonious collection of volumes, thoughtfully positioning sleek red brick wings to highlight the exquisitely crafted flint façade when observed from the sea.
Taking Advantage of Stunning Views
Expertly oriented, the house offers dual views: breathtaking vistas of the harbor to the north, and a serene courtyard garden to the south.
A Timeless Blend of Traditional Materials
Incorporating traditional materials such as flint, brick, and timber throughout, the home showcases these natural textures to emphasize the distinction between the individual wings.
Innovative Interior Design for Seamless Living
Inside, the main staircase to the west is complemented by a slender, boat-like stairway to the east. The central space boasts a warm timber ceiling, full-width high-performance glazing, and raised external decks (approximately 3.3 feet in height), allowing residents to bask in the sunlight while admiring the captivating sea view.
