Coastal Zen

FINALIST: Society of British & International Design 2025

Connection to the sea, coastline and nature was intensely important to my clients. The vision was to create a haven, with raw and beautiful materials, enduring, with understated elegance. It was to have a bold presence but also create a sense of calm and serenity away from the busy world. The rest of the home's style pulls from a Japanese aesthetic, understated, with quality fixtures and organic textures.

Longevity of design, and functionality were key, but they did not want it to feel pretentious. It needed to be a comfortable space for when the couple were home on their own, and spacious enough with all the modern conveniences for when their grown family came to stay.
