Dune House

To get a planning permission it was important to relate to the existing, typical, British seaside strip of houses. The roof scape, the bedroom floors, somehow plays with the formal presence of these buildings, and also brings into mind a romantic remembrance of holidays at bed -and breakfast while travelling through the UK.


The ground floor is contrasting this by its lack of relationship to the architecture of the top floor. The living areas and terraces are set into the dunes in order to protect it from strong winds and opens equally on all direction to allow for wide views. The corner can be open by sliding doors: this will emphasize the floating appearance of the top floor.
