This new dwelling lies in the North York Moors National Park and overlooks Robin Hood’s Bay and the sea beyond. Planning consent was negotiated to replace an unattractive blockwork bungalow with an eco friendly SIPS house set within 2 acres of woodland. The brief for the house which has been featured on the television programme ‘Homes by the Sea’ was to create an environmentally sensitive home which would frame the view of the sea and blend with the backdrop of trees. Weathered zinc, powder coated aluminium and cedar cladding combine to create a contemporary light filled home that sits comfortably in the sensitive surroundings.
