The brief

A weekend house used eight days a month, so it had to shut down cleanly and open up fast.

What we did

  1. 01

    A house that can be closed in ten minutes

    Shutters, not curtains, on every opening, so the place can be left empty without being dark inside when you return.

  2. 02

    Salt-tolerant everything

    Stainless fixings, powder-coated aluminium and hardwood, because the sea is 200 metres away.

  3. 03

    Outdoor shower and a slab that drains

    The floor slopes to the garden so sand and salt leave the house before you do.
