The Bazeley PartnershipSeahorses is a stunning new home near Falmouth enjoying magnificent panoramic views of the south coast seascape.
Sitting on the clifftops within an AONB, the house and gardens occupy a gently sloping site that connects with the adjacent South West Coastal Path.
The context and terrain of the surrounding landscape informed the design and an imaginative and ambitious solution to site levels was crucial to the success of the scheme. As a result, the completed house is lower than the original, thus creating privacy for the occupants whilst still respecting neighbouring homes.
The split-level, linear design is carefully organised around a spine wall of local granite that runs from the exterior of the building through the interior. This arrangement allows the living areas and bedrooms to connect with the landscape and integrate seamlessly with outdoor spaces.
A mix of grasses, sedum and indigenous coastal plants on the green roof help to embed the building into its surroundings. The palette of natural materials creates a layered, permeable effect on the exterior, which will season with time and weather, thereby allowing it to assimilate into its coastal setting.
Of equal importance was landscaping, which was integral to the design intent. With thoughtful positioning of the new dwelling, significant areas of mature and established planting were protected and retained.

4a ArchitektenSanierung denkmalgeschützter Villa von Barry Dierks
Das Gebäude aus dem Jahr 1926 beeindruckt nicht nur durch seine herrliche Lage an der französischen Riviera, sondern ist auch im Hinblick auf seine Historie etwas Besonderes. Die Villa Le Trident ist die erste von zahlreichen Villen, die der amerikanische Architekt Barry Dierks an der Mittelmeerküste gebaut und auch selbst bewohnt hat. Im Vordergrund der Sanierung stand, dieses architektonische Erbe zu wahren und dem Gebäude zugleich ein modernes Ambiente zu verleihen. Von außen besticht die Villa von Barry Dierks nach wie vor mit ihrer „weißen Architektur“. Weiträumig, lichtdurchflutet und von schlichter Eleganz ist der vorherrschende Raumeindruck seit der Umgestaltung. Für einen fließenden Übergang der unterschiedlichen Bereiche wurden bestehende Innenwände im Erd- und Obergeschoss entfernt. Lange Fensterfronten, weiße Möbel, weiß lasierte Eichenmassivholzdielen und Glaselemente verleihen den Räumen eine helle und ruhige Atmosphäre. Markante Akzente in diesem reduziert gestalteten Ambiente setzen einzelne Elemente wie Möbel, ein von der Decke abgehängter Kamin sowie das von den Architekten gestaltete Wandelement in der Bibliothek. Blickfang auf beiden Ebenen sind die mit Teakholz verkleideten, frei stehenden Kuben. Sie erinnern in ihrer Materialität an einen Schiffsrumpf und stellen so einen lokalen Bezug her.

IDSystemsFrom the outside the seamless connection between home and garden is clear, with the choice of pocket slider rather than traditional back door creating a consistency of design across the rear elevation.

Urban SkiesThe beautiful and modern holiday home near Dorchester features our pergola to the rooftop terrace that provides stunning views. The bespoke pergola was designed and engineered to span to the full width over the outdoor kitchen and provide shelter from rain, wind and the sun. It features rotating louvres along with perimeter LED lighting, vertical tension blinds and external heaters, all of which are manually operated via remote.
RoofingreenThis penthouse in Milan was transformed into a contemporary rooftop garden using the Roofingreen LEAF modular synthetic grass system.
The goal was to create a green, comfortable and low-maintenance outdoor space with a clean architectural aesthetic.
LEAF offers excellent drainage, thermal comfort and soft underfoot performance while protecting the waterproofing layer below. Its lightweight modular design makes it ideal for rooftop applications, ensuring year-round usability with minimal maintenance.
The result is a modern rooftop terrace with panoramic views, combining natural aesthetics with advanced technical performance.
