Luscombe
‘Luscombe’ is an exclusive gated
development of three luxury houses
located in the ‘Luscombe Valley’ in
Poole, Dorset, designed by David
James Architects for Excellare. The
designs evolved from the concept of
‘organic architecture’; amplifying
harmony between the dwellings
and their setting. The house designs
complement the sylvan setting
allowing the occupants to feel at one
with their environment.
The site at Luscombe, occupies a
spectacular natural wooded setting
presiding over Poole Harbour, with
views to Brownsea Island and the
Isle of Purbeck beyond. Luscombe is
a private enclave surrounded by pine
trees adjoining the Luscombe Valley
Nature Reserve and the renowned
Parkstone Golf Course.
The development is also within easy
walking distance to Poole Harbour,
and is located within easy reach of the
Sandbanks Penninsular.
These three contemporary super-
homes, named Optima, Orseleta and
Ortega, are solidified into the ground
with natural stone. Light horizontal
aluminium elements link vertical
timber fins, which compliment the
sylvan surroundings. The houses have
been designed to express a feeling
of light with suspended elements
in space, with floor to ceiling glass
seamlessly integrating inside and out,
whilst framing views.
Two of the three houses offer living
space over three floors, including a
pool and fitness suite to the lower
ground floor.
