Spring is here and several UK projects are progressing in parallel; our attention has turned to a verdant site near Dover on the Kent coast. Through site modelling and sectional studies, we’re exploring how the house can be anchored to this remarkable place. The concept is emerging from the slope itself, so that parts of the home are grounded with certainty while others appear almost suspended, reaching towards infinity.

The article looks closely at the material choices made to endure this exposed coastline, and it also captures the lived experience of the home.

The proposal had to do more than meet policy. It had to show that the home belongs here.
Read MoreOver Christmas, when the pace slows, the house has a way of revealing itself. Nothing has failed, but something no longer fits the life being lived inside it. Most people recognise that feeling before they can explain it. This journal explores this idea. It shows how we listen before we draw, how we test assumptions, and how a brief becomes precise enough that the architecture feels inevitable. Jump in for more.
