This mid-century inspired extension in Rye, takes it’s cues from the original 2 bedroom beach house, which is largely preserved and restored.

The new kitchen and living spaces wrap around a large private outdoor terrace and pool, featuring stone floors, lining board ceilings and floor to ceiling North-facing windows. Raised sections of ceiling and a series of highlight windows flood the interior with natural light and frame views of the weather rolling in from the South.

Clad with sustainably sourced timber, and teamed with a rich earthy colour palette, the built elements are blended into the surrounding garden. A mural adds the last playful touch, befitting the era and casual coastal environment.
