Plinth House

This is a coastal home for a waterman, a swimmer, a rock climber. A home to fulfil our longing for nature and adventure. A bouldering wall covers the Southern facade. The ground floor is surrounded by walls of glass, allowing natural light to fill every living moment. Sleeping quarters at first floor are suspended in an open cradle of wood for warmth and seclusion. Outside stepping stone monoliths cascade down to a small beach. Each monolith has a function, sometimes a plunge pool, sometimes a barbecue, other times just a plinth with an open fire. Plinth house invites you to take part in a new kind of spatial luxury to enjoy the rarest of commodities - time and silence.
