Extensions & renovations

Maximising coastal views

The new owners of Salty Shore sought to embrace the stunning west coast views and breathtaking sunsets that their property offers. To achieve this, we embarked on a dramatic transformation, extending the home’s first floor and creating expansive, open spaces that frame the coastline. By removing existing walls and ceilings, we introduced a sense of spaciousness throughout the home.

A large, seamlessly integrated, balcony flows from the newly added living areas, accessed through glazed sliding doors. The entire property will undergo a full renovation, including thermal upgrades to improve energy efficiency, a reimagined layout for better functionality, and the installation of modern fixtures and high-end fittings.

Client’s brief

The clients envisioned a modern coastal retreat where they could host friends and family. Their priorities included:

  • Maximising the panoramic views of the ocean and sunsets.
  • Creating a large balcony terrace, perfect for social gatherings and outdoor entertaining.
  • Enhancing comfort through thermal efficiency upgrades and contemporary fixtures that reflect a fresh, coastal aesthetic.

Key architectural features

  • Newly designed first-floor living space featuring vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of openness and capture more natural light.
  • Coastal-inspired interior design with a calm, neutral palette reflecting the beach surroundings.
  • Seamless indoor-outdoor living facilitated by large sliding glass doors that open onto a spacious balcony, blurring the lines between inside and outside.

Looking ahead

Construction is set to begin in early 2025, and we are excited to bring this vision to life.
