The existing building had good bones and a generous plot: but the layout was tired, spaces compartmentalised, and the garden largely unused. The reconfiguration opened the ground floor into a single flowing kitchen, dining and living space, with bifold doors along the rear elevation dissolving the boundary between inside and out. The interior palette is warm and deliberately coastal without being obvious about it: a soft terracotta accent wall behind the kitchen, natural oak shelving, cream linens, Berber rugs: a home that feels welcoming after a day in the surf.
