This contemporary new-build home, located on a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Dungeness, is a striking example of modern architectural design blended with respect for its unique environment. Constructed
with a robust steel and timber frame, the house is wrapped in a sleek, weatherresistant light single-ply membrane, ensuring durability in Dungeness’ harsh coastal climate. Large expanses of triple-glazed windows allow for breathtaking views of the shingle landscape while maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing
environmental impact.

A key feature of the design is the incorporation of an original railway carriage, seamlessly integrated into the structure as a nod to the area’s historic charm. The carriage has been thoughtfully restored and repurposed, creating a unique focal point that serves as an extended dining space, preserving its character while harmonizing with the home’s modern aesthetic. The property is elevated on a minimal footprint to respect the fragile ecosystem of the SSSI site, with thoughtful landscaping designed to blend the house into the surrounding environment and the stark beauty of Dungeness’ coastal setting.
