beach house on Herbrand Walk, one of
the finest coastal addresses in Sussex.
This three-storey house is entirely clad in Iroko timber, which is beginning to weather in the gusty, saline environment to form a silver-white patina that complements the natural tones of the shale beach and resembles driftwood.
The Beach House is a robust, tough building that compliments the beauty of its coastal setting and brings a little L.A. glamour to Bexhill.
At the ground level the overhanging eave creates protection to allow for maximum transparency to provide views to Beachy Head. At the uppermost level a fully folding glazing system allows the upper room to expand to incorporate the exterior terrace simultaneously becoming both inside and outside space.
