Two contemporary timber framed beach houses, located at Camber Sands, East Sussex. Situated next to the county’s only sand dunes the stunning beach houses offer spectacular views of the sea and unparalleled access to the beach. We set out to minimise the houses’ impact on the environment, both visually and physically. This informed the design and choice of natural materials throughout; many recycled and sustainable materials were used for this project. The house design required both flood resilient and resistance to the sometimes hostile marine location whilst sitting comfortably alongside existing beach houses and the natural backdrop of the changing landscape of the dunes and sea. The building has won numerous awards including the East Sussex Heritage Trust Award 2016, the Surface Design Sustainable award 2016 and the 2017 RICS Residential Award
