The story of the house

The owners bought this cliff for the view and waited six years for the right architect. She spent a whole winter here before drawing a line, learning where the wind comes from and where the sun goes down. Every window you'll stand at is exactly where she stood.

Arrival

From first light to last

Watch the house
through a day.

The house faces west over open water. Drag the sun across the sky and see the living room through a day, from a pale blue morning to the gold hour everyone comes here for.

Made to last

Every surface,
chosen by hand.

The kitchen, with points to tap for materials
The islandA single 4-metre slab of honed Calacatta marble, craned in before the roof went on.
The windowsTriple-glazed, floor to ceiling, with bronze frames that warm with age.
The cabinetsSmoked oak, made by a two-person joinery forty minutes up the coast.
The floorLimestone, heated underneath, so winter mornings start warm.

    "I've sold homes on this coast for twenty years. I've never seen a sunset from a kitchen like this one."

    Good evening. I'm Julian. The owners built this house for slow Sundays and long dinners, and they'd love it to go to someone who'll do the same. Come for a viewing at five and stay for the light. I'll bring the coffee.
