James Owen, Director, Fieldwork Architects, said:
“
We wanted the house to feel rooted in its surroundings,
with the arrangement of the home connecting with the
land and sea, by way of framing views to the outside
and utilising natural materials throughout. The bedrooms
sit within thick granite walls at ground floor, creating a
sense of protection from the exposed coastline. A central
axis is carved out to cast natural light down from the
stairway above, with the upper floors opening up to the
surroundings.”
Amber Warner, client and homeowner, said:
“
It was very important for me to frame as much of the view
as possible from all parts of the house. I wanted to create
a space that is both cosy during the dramatic coastal
winters as well as cool and open in the summer.
I wanted the house to feel embedded in its surroundings.
The pinky tones in the Jersey granite reflect the colour of
the sunsets, the tones and textures of the walls inside are
earthy and sandy, and in the landscaping the grasses that
I planted replicate the coastal vegetation of the area.”
