The Brief

To build from new, a modern luxury beach house that sympathetically complements the stunning surroundings of the beach and the backdrop of Snowdonia National Park, which sits behind the property. The plot and previous house had been in our client’s family for several decades and was a much used and loved second home. As such, the replacement had a lot to live up to. Again, working closely with the client, architects and builders a truly stunning and architecturally interesting home has been created, which has won the prestigious accolade of best new build in North Wales 2019.

Realisation

The exterior of this four-bedroom beach house picks up the heritage of the area and uses local slate cladding, which offsets the natural wooden Millboard deck that wraps around the property. We designed an informal Scandinavian inspired scheme. Particular attention was paid to the use of natural and man-made textures and soft-layered furnishings. This, coupled together with the colour palette (which runs throughout) helps to create a cosy and informal feel. A handmade bespoke kitchen was commissioned and additional detailing was added, such as the handmade leather stitched handles (also used for the wardrobes and drawers) to give it a unique and special touch.
