The site contained an existing house with a flat roof extension which was contemporary, open, light and had immediate access to the garden and outside spaces.

The client wanted to replicate these features in their new home, but they wanted it for the whole house, essentially a home that they could define from the beginning, not just the extension.

The clients already knew what they wanted in terms of the interior layout. What was as important to them was the outside spaces, and how the pool and gardens related to the inside of this contemporary home. We often speak about how a house relates to the outside, here they were given equal billing. The stunning views to the south look down the valley to Uplyme and the sea beyond.
