Perched on the East Sussex coast, this South East retreat celebrates simplicity, sea views, and sculptural, low-carbon living.
“A calm, sustainable coastal home with striking design and passive environmental principles woven into every detail.” – Hugh Strange Architects
Jury comment:
“The detached house is barely altered and beautifully refurbished, retaining fine mouldings, stained glass, fretted barge boards and decorative hung clay tiles. Overall this modest home packs a big architectural punch. It is elegantly sustainable, carefully detailed, and beautifully rooted in its coastal setting.”
The countdown is on for the reveal of this year’s Stirling Prize, the biggest night in architecture. Stay tuned for the announcement of the UK’s best new building on 16 October.
