ART Special sample 1

In the southwest of England, a long stretch of sea forms beautiful peninsulas with a Mediterranean flair. The popular seafront plots are often situated on a hillside and are naturally bordered by a rough shoreline. Our clients have created their very own bespoke dream house in this area of paradise: a two-storey HUF post-and-beam house with maximum glazing and an organic design language - inspired by the waves of the ocean. "We work in the transformation business" explains architect Peter Huf, and anyone who witnessed the formerly overgrown property, along with its dilapidated outbuildings, would agree. This custom designed HUF house now adorns this naturally beautiful site, working with the natural character of the landscape and harmoniously blending into its surroundings.

The sloping nature of the site welcomes the design that appears as single storey to the front which then seamlessly transitions into a two storey build at the rear.

As the property is located in an "Area of ​​Outstanding Natural Beauty" (AONB), strict Planning criteria in the areas of sustainability, material selection, excellent design and local context had to be taken into account during the design stage. According to these requirements, new buildings must reflect the character and special features of the location and offer residents a healthy living environment. The Huf Architect fully embraced and implemented this brief using HUF HAUS’ characteristic design of post-and-beam architecture and full glazing.
