Despite the unconventional house
layout and brief, as the clients get
older the design intent will not be lost.
To accommodate the life-time of the
owners, the house has some clever
features for it to adapt including
a hidden platform lift if the stairs
were to ever become unusable, and a
laundry chute going from the master
bed to the utility room on the ground
floor.
The scheme now sits on the harbour
edge as a playful yet site specific
response that will mature over
time, enhancing the architectural
distinctiveness of the area.
The ‘Marmite’ nature of the design
creates a truly one-off house along the
estuary for the clients to enjoy into
their retirement, and continues to stir
discussion in the area.
