Beach House in Shoreham

ABIR Architects used pebbles found on the beach to create the layered facade of this house in the English seaside town of Shoreham. The four-bedroom property features a form and materiality that references its picturesque setting, but is also tailored to the needs of its occupants, who enjoy stepping straight off the beach after wind surfing or swimming in the sea.

When viewed from the beach or the boardwalk that passes along in front of the house’s garden, the building appears as three distinct layers, each of which evokes an aspect of the marine environment.“After the pebbles on the beach you’ve got the glass which reflects the sea and the sky, and then there’s the driftwood right at the top,” said Adas Nicholson, the house owner.
