WEST SUSSEX COAST
This is a new build house with incredible views overlooking a creek that runs off the entrance to Chichester harbour. The design brief we were working to includes a large terrace that includes space for up to twelve people to eat outdoors and a sunken seating space that overlooks the harbour a the sun sets. The plot slopes from front to back and we’ve worked with the levels to create a series of subtle compartments along the terrace, creating spaces for members of the family to use at different times of the day. The family are keen sailors and the design enables dinghies and paddle boards to brought through the garden to the creek’s edge, and with an outdoor shower for washing off the boards afterwards. There is also an indoor swimming pool that opens out onto a formal lawn area set at the same level as the terrace and we’ve designed a cosy space that connects to the pool so that the family can be connected to the pool from the outside.
