Surrounded by an eclectic array of houses it became apparent early in the design stage the importance of the surrounds, the environment and the conditions that the house would be subjected to such as wind, salt and sun.

Whilst on the inside the material palette is refined yet hard wearing in the form of polished concrete. More detail,,
