High-end living in an incredible coastal setting

Harbour House, located on Guernsey’s picturesque east coast, presents an incredible opportunity to blend luxury living with the beauty of its coastal surroundings. The Drawing Room was commissioned to transform an existing open-market bungalow into a striking modern home that maximises the ocean views.

The design features a bold architectural upgrade, including the addition of a second story, a double-height vaulted entryway, and sleek flat roofs. The exterior aesthetics are enhanced using contemporary materials such as stone and rendered finishes, giving the home a clean, modern look.

Client’s Vision

The clients sought a home that is not only visually stunning but also flooded with natural light. Their main objectives were:

Maximising panoramic views of the ocean and the sunrises that grace the east coast.
Creating a spacious, flowing family area that opens to outdoor terraces, perfect for entertainment and relaxation.
Improving comfort and sustainability through thermal efficiency upgrades and integrating cutting-edge, contemporary fixtures.

Key Architectural Features

Double-Height Entryway: The entryway serves as a striking focal point, creating an immediate sense of grandeur and connection to the home’s modern design.
Structural Glazed Corners: These create unobstructed, panoramic views, inviting the outside in and offering uninterrupted vistas of the ocean from within the home.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: Large sliding glass doors connect the expansive family space with the terrace, creating a continuous flow between the interior and exterior. An outdoor fireplace enhances the terrace, offering a cozy space for year-round enjoyment.

Looking Ahead

The construction of Harbour House is already underway. Once completed, it promises to be a showpiece of contemporary architecture.
