Coastal Homes
Living by water is a life-affirming experience. Clear views, magical light and beautiful scenery.
We design houses to maximise the potential of waterside locations, whether that be in coastal locations, estuary houses or lake-side buildings. The flexibility of timber frame houses is particularly well-suited to provide large areas of glass and flowing interiors opening out onto expansive external spaces.
